LIVING BODY INSPECTION SYSTEM, LIVING BODY INSPECTION APPARATUS, AND LIVING BODY INSPECTION METHOD
First Claim
1. A living body inspection system comprising:
- a tapping detecting unit for detecting motion data regarding at least one of a distance, a speed, and an acceleration, of two fingers of a hand of a subject, in tapping operation including open and closing motions of the fingers; and
a living body inspection apparatus for calculating an estimation index regarding finger motion of the subject on the basis of the motion data, comprising;
a storage; and
a processing part for obtaining the speed and the acceleration on the basis of the motion data from the tapping detection unit, calculating the estimation index by calculating at least one of an index regarding extending force of fingers and an index regarding open and closing force of the fingers to store the estimation index in the storage.

Abstract
Motion of fingers of a subject is dynamically analyzed to provide an estimation index in a hardness of a muscle used in the motion of the fingers. A processing part calculates a speed and acceleration of two fingers on the basis of the motion data of the fingers obtained by a tapping detecting unit, calculates a ratio between the speed and the acceleration, and calculates as an estimation index a mechanical impedance regarding extending force of the fingers and a mechanical impedance regarding opening and closing force of the fingers by applying the calculated ratio to a predetermined equation based on a muscle dynamic model.
