Motor function estimating system, motor function estimating method and program

A motor function estimating method comprising the steps of:

• storing waveform data with reference to a time of a fingers tapping motion in a memory unit;
• wherein the waveform data is obtained by a motion sensor attached to a subject person who does the fingers tapping motion that is repetition of an opening and closing motion of two fingers of one hand;
• analyzing the waveform data stored in the memory unit in an analyzing section;
• and
• displaying an analysis result by the analyzing section on a display unit;
• the analyzing step comprising:
• generating, in a motion waveform generating section, a motion waveform corresponding to the waveform data stored in the memory unit;
• generating, in a characteristics generating section, plural characteristics that represent features of the fingers tapping motion, based on the motion waveform;
• generating, in an age-normalized characteristics generating section, each of plural age-normalized characteristics by calculating a regression line or a regression curve that represents a distribution tendency depending on age of each of the plural characteristics and calculating a difference between each of the plural characteristics and a value of the age on the regression line or the regression curve, and
• generating, in a motion disorder synthesis value generating section, a motion disorder synthesis value that represents a degree of motion disorder of the subject person by comparing the plural age-normalized characteristics made by the age-normalized characteristics generating section with corresponding characteristics of healthy persons previously stored in the memory unit and synthesizing the plural characteristics.
