Abstract
A living body inspection apparatus which quantitatively evaluates timings of movements (bending and stretching) of fingers. The apparatus includes: a movement sensor including a transmitter coil for generating a magnetic field and a plurality of receiver coils for receiving the generated magnetic field from the transmitter coil; analyzing means which analyzes time-series waveform data acquired from the movement sensor; and display means which displays a result of analysis made by the analyzing means. For comparison of waveform data, the analyzing means includes distance waveform generating means for generating distance waveforms corresponding to the waveform data, and standard point generating means for generating standard points based on standard distances in the distance waveforms.
