an external stimulation section that applies an external stimulus to a target area in a body of a user;
a detection section that detects first information during a walking motion of the user, the first information being information regarding change in a detected area in the body of the user;
a control section that compares the first information with a threshold and causes the external stimulation section to generate the stimulus when the first information satisfies a predetermined condition; and
a storage section that stores a value detected by the detection section,
wherein:
the control section specifies, from a preceding cycle of the walking motion, a timing at which a foot of the user comes into contact with the ground, and updates the threshold based on the specified timing.
