To provide a revolutionary technology capable of correctly evaluating a tremor disease with higher objectivity by excluding nonuniformity or errors in an evaluation result due to the subjectivity of a measuring person.
An exercise assignment is performed by allowing a subject to alternately touch the near distance target 3A and far distance target 3B of target parts 3 by the finger (a) with an acceleration sensor 1 fixed thereto. A calculation part calculates the change of exercise acceleration in the finger (a) of the subject during the exercise assignment, based on a measurement result acquired by the acceleration sensor 1 during the performance of the assignment. The calculated change of the exercise acceleration in the finger (a) of the subject during the exercise assignment is divided into the change in posture and the change in action, based on the detection results of touch sensors 4 for detecting the touch of the finger (a) of the subject onto the target parts 3. Consequently, the severity degree and clinical condition of the tremor in the subject are evaluated.
