Abstract
A risk estimation apparatus includes a data acquisition unit that acquires measured data of foot pressures of the left foot and the right foot obtained by sensors that are provided in shoes and measure the foot pressures, a stance phase identification unit that identifies a starting timing and an ending timing of a stance phase of each of the left foot and the right foot from the measured data of the foot pressures, and a risk estimation unit that estimates a risk of abnormality of a lower limb on the basis of asymmetry between the foot pressures of the left foot and the right foot during the stance phase.
