The bottom of a person's foot grips the floor for balance, and the action force, and action moment work at the foot bottom when he maintains posture and when he moves. They are important indices in the evaluation and the medical attentions of standing pose balance and gait disturbances. A lot of equipment to measure the ground reaction force has been researched, and also one force plate it can be measured information about the distribution of three force component has been put to practical use. This paper aims at the development of a system that can measure both the planter pressure that exists from a measurement instrument and the planter pressure distributed at 6 × 4 three axis force sensors, and software that displays and preserves the output of the sensor element. A time change of force that worked at the foot bottom is sought as a vector by outputting each sensor element. Moreover, an action vector is displayed three dimensionally, so that data can be intuitively understood. The results of experiments show that the measurement system can measure the action force of the foot bottom as distribution information on force in three directions.
