Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the physical rotary quantity of the yaw axis while subjects walk on running-machine, because it was considered that this rotary quantity may be available for discrimination of the right and left walk intention on the running-machine. Four subjects were attached a gyro sensor of Enliven3D to a head, a shoulder, a waist and a foot. Then, they walked two kilometers per hour on running-machine. When subjects walked on the running-machine, we requested them to intend changing direction and going straight with looking straight. The shoulder, waist and foot in all subjects turned about 20° under the influence of turn-intention in the changing direction. There was individual difference of about 10° in the rotary quantity between every subject and each part. Each part without heads turned under the effect of turn intention, even if we requested subjects to look at the right and the left.
