Abstract
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.
