METHOD FOR EVALUATING AND PREDICTING LOCOMOTOR FUNCTION DISORDER SEVERITY Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves performing medical genetic examination of patient. The following life support system properties are determined: somatotyping (A), genealogical analysis (B), anthropometry (C), dermatoglyphics (D), ABO system blood group and rhesus factor (E), sex (F). All values are evaluated using conditional scores method and prediction coefficient Kp is calculated from formula Kp=A+B+C+D+E+F. The value being not greater than 11, tendency to locomotor disorders is predicted. The coefficient value being from 12 to 17, initial stage of locomotor disorders is stated. The value from 18 to 23 witnesses existence of some locomotor disorder. The coefficient value being higher than 23, marked locomotor disorder stage is considered to take place. EFFECT: easy-in-use method.
