Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An estimation apparatus acquires stance phases of both feet and estimates a risk of abnormality of a lower limb on the basis of the difference between the stance phases of the both feet.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An estimation apparatus comprising: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire stance phases of both feet; and estimate a risk of abnormality of a lower limb on the basis of a difference between the stance phases of the both feet. 2 . The estimation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to calculate the stance phases of the both feet on the basis of sensing information obtained from sensors provided in soles of shoes worn on the both feet. 3 . The estimation apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to calculate the stance phases of the both feet on the basis of acceleration indicated by the sensing information. 4 . The estimation apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to calculate the stance phases of the both feet on the basis of pressure values indicated by the sensing information. 5 . An estimation method comprising: acquiring stance phases for both feet, and estimating a risk of abnormality of a lower limb on the basis of a difference between the stance phases of the both feet. 6 . A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that records a program for causing a computer of an estimation apparatus to execute: acquiring stance phases of both feet; and estimating a risk of abnormality of a lower limb on the basis of a difference between the stance phases of the both feet.
