Training time is shorter because the number of physiotherapists (PT) is not enough compared to the number of patients. This will reduce the effectiveness of walk-training. Patients do walk-training at home rather than on a walker. In this study, we propose a walking motion measurement method using an RGB-D camera when a human walk with a walker, which is for the purpose of enhancing the rehabilitation effect. An RGB-D camera is attached to a care-walker. The RGBD camera measures the position of the feet to estimate walking movement. In this article the proposed measurement method was improved in order to solve the problem of not being able to see the foot when walking and rotating. In addition, we perform a TUG gait test with a pseudo-patient and measure and analyze gait information.
