To provide a motor function evaluation device and a motor function evaluation method capable of evaluating a motor function of a subject comprehensively and easily. A motor function evaluation deviceof the present invention includes a measurement base, a load measurement unitthat measures load change over time of the subject applied to the measurement base, and an arithmetic unitthat determines a balance ability indicator of the subject determined by the load change over time measured by the load measurement unit. The arithmetic unitdetermines the balance ability indicator from a time interval from when the subject stands up and the load applied to the load measurement unitis maximized until when the load variation is stabilized.

A balance ability measurement apparatus acquires load information on weight of a user as measured during a period of a stand-up movement which is a period of time from when the user starts the stand-up movement to when the user stabilizes standing posture. Based on the load information, the balance ability measurement apparatus calculates load change information on change in the weight of the user. Further, based on the load information, the balance ability measurement apparatus calculates left-right displacement information on displacement of the user in left-right direction. Based on the load change information and the left-right displacement information, the balance ability measurement apparatus calculates a balance ability evaluation value on balance ability of the user.

A bioelectricity impedance measuring device includes a contact surface capable of being placed on a part of the body, a gripper which is formed to be easily grasped by a single hand, and electrodes on the contact surface. In addition, the bioelectricity impedance measuring device further includes a malnutrition measuring device which measures malnutrition. An operation and control device measures Phase angle theta and/or an RcXc ratio, and measures a nutrient state. The malnutrition measuring device measures the state of malnutrition from a value of Phase angle theta. A display shows the results of measurement with a bar classified by display of a color. In addition, the operation and control device further measures muscular volume. The operation and control device, by being capable of being provided data or regression, can also measure muscular volume for a child aged 5 or younger or an adult aged 60 or older.

An apparatus is provided for measurement of a woman's body. Embodiments include an apparatus having a body parameter input unit, a menstruation date input unit, and a physical condition phase estimation unit for estimating the phase of physical condition of the person under test for a measurement day based on formulas for estimation of phase of body condition. After determining a change in an input body parameter, a display unit displays advice for the person under test for the measurement day, based on the change in body parameter and the phase of physical condition of the person for the measurement day estimated by the physical condition phase estimation unit.

Apparatus for measurement of woman's body

Disclosed is a maternity biodata measurement system, wherein a sum of a pre-pregnancy energy expenditure and a pregnancy extra energy amount of a subject is determined as an energy amount necessary for the subject in a pregnancy period. In particular, the pregnancy extra energy amount is determined based on pre-pregnancy body-mass index data and elapsed pregnancy-period data about the subject, so as to allow the necessary energy amount to be determined as a value appropriate for the subject. The maternity biodata measurement system of the present invention makes it possible to measure a necessary energy amount for a pregnant woman on an individual basis.

Biological data measurement system for pregnant women

Disclosed is a female physical condition managing apparatus comprising: a bioelectrical impedance-meter for determining BI values; a memory for storing the so determined BI values; a decision-making unit for making a decision about the monthly physical condition of a woman on the basis of the time series analysis of the variation of the BI values; and a display showing the so made decision on the monthly physical condition of the woman and a BI transition symbolic curve. This permits women to realize quickly what stage has been reached in the monthly physical condition. Presentation of measurement in the display is so dynamic that the viewer may not feel bored while the measurement is being made.

Female physical condition managing apparatus

A body water amount condition judging apparatus is provided wherein at least two values selected from intra-cellular water resistance, extra-cellular water resistance, a combined resistance of the intracellular and extra-cellular water resistance, and the ratio of intra-cellular and extra-cellular water are used as the judging parameters, which values are obtained based on the bioelectric impedance measured in multi-frequency bioelectric impedance measurement. Using these parameters, it is possible to judge the body water amount condition considering not only total body water amount condition, but each constituent component of body water as well.
