Patent ID: 8152744

Claim:
A shoe or insole fitting navigation system including: a foot sole pressure measuring sensor configured to measure a foot sole pressure distribution for each foot of a subject standing upright on a measuring plane with one foot having a load bearing defect part where the pressure is measured as zero; an outer foot dimension measuring sensor configured to measure an outer dimension of each foot of the subject by detecting an outer position of each foot, wherein the outer dimension of each foot and foot sole pressure distributions of the subject are capable of being measured simultaneously; a gravity center position computing section configured to compute a gravity center position of each foot from the foot sole pressure distribution of each foot measured by the foot sole pressure measuring sensor, and the outer position of each foot measured by the outer foot dimension measuring sensor, so as correctly to determine the gravity center position of the sole of each foot; a gravity center balance determining section configured to determine a bias in a gravity center balance of each foot, which represents how much the gravity center position of each foot is biased from a central portion of the respective foot sole, based on the gravity center position of each foot computed by the gravity center position computing section and the outer dimension of each foot measured by the outer foot dimension measuring sensor; and a selecting section configured to select a shoe or insole for each foot based on the bias in gravity center balance of each foot determined by the gravity center balance determining section.
