An apparatus and method capable of measuring a weight load of an inflamed leg
of a lab animal or a human being objectively and precisely while the lab animal
or the human being is walking freely in a non-binding state. A pathway sized depending
on a size and a stride of the lab animal or the human being is provided in a weight
load measuring apparatus, and a weight sensor is attached to a bottom of the pathway.
Thus, artificial operations to be applied to the lab animal or human being walking
the pathway can be minimized such that the weight load exerted in the inflamed
leg can be measured objectively and precisely with time periods.
