The measurement of ground reaction forces is important in gait analysis. We have proposed and developed a wearable sensor system to measure the ground reaction forces by using flexible tactile sensors. In this paper, the ground reaction forces of healthy subjects during walking are measured by the wearable sensor system. The usefulness of the sensor system is examined from the measurement results.
