Abstract
Provided are a walking state estimating device and a walking state estimating method. A reference point Q (m) is defined at the bottom end portion of one of the pair of legs of a subject P, the one leg being estimated to be in a stance leg state, i.e. the one leg that is highly likely to be the supporting leg when the subject P changes the position and attitude of his/her torso. Hence, when the reference point Q (m) is changed, the position of the current reference point Q (m) can be estimated with high accuracy on the basis of the position of a previous reference point Q (m−1) before the change and according to the attitudes of the torso and the one leg at the time point at which the current reference point is defined after the change.
