Abstract
Disclosed is a measuring device for ambulation data including a bending sensor installed in a bottom of a shoe to sense a bending signal transmitted by bending of the bottom of the shoe and generate a voltage signal while a user is walking, a control unit electrically connected to the bending sensor to derive an ambulation parameter by processing the outputted voltage signal, and a terminal to output the ambulation parameter transmitted from the control unit, wherein the bending sensor is placed between a part that touches a forefoot and a part that touches a heel in the bottom of the shoe.
