Inspection device and inspection method for load distribution sensor

An inspection device for a load distribution sensor including a plurality of first loop electrodes that is disposed parallel to one another in a first surface, a plurality of second loop electrodes that is disposed parallel to one another in a direction orthogonal to the first loop electrodes in a second surface lying above the first surface and parallel to the first surface, and a conductive sheet that is provided on the second surface through an intermediate layer that deforms according to a pressing force, the load distribution sensor being configured to drive either the first loop electrodes or the second loop electrodes and detect a signal due to electromagnetic coupling from the other electrodes, the inspection device comprising:

• a conductive member that has a lower resistance value than the conductive sheet and is disposed on the conductive sheet so as to cover an electromagnetic coupling part between the first loop electrodes and the second loop electrodes;
• and
• a detection unit that detects a signal due to electromagnetic coupling of the conductive member.
