Summary: In this paper, the role of the human being toe is investigated. The change of the sole pressure distribution using a sole pressure distribution measurement system and that of the toe pressure using a toe pressure measurement system at walk by the existence of a toe are investigated. In order to investigate the change of the whole walking, the affection of a walk posture using a 3D motion capture system by the existence of a toe is also measured. Furthermore, the change of the amount of energy consumption at walk by the existence of a toe is measured by a spirometry system. At last, we investigate the roles of the toe, such as, the efficiency of the big and 2nd toe, and the stabilization of the posture, by the synthesis of these results.
