Posturographic study of the human body vibrations for clinical diagnos-tics of the spine and joint pathology

Abstract

Body sway at different stances can be detected in every individual and it is peculiar to normal healthy state. The most accessible and common method of detection of the sway parameters is the measurement of the position of the centre of mass (COM) using the force platform. Com-puterized posturography is widely used as a convenient test for diagnostics of different musculoskeletal, vestibular, nervous, auditory and visual pathology, age-related changes and even the emotional state of the individual. The posturographic data can be used for elaboration novel types and control systems of mobile robots.
