HUMAN BODY BALANCE DIAGNOSIS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B5/103 A61B5/11 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to the study and diagnosis of balance, and also to the field of sports for diagnosing their psychological and physical state in the musculoskeletal system biomechanical research and during the training of sustainability. In human body stabilisation study the stabilisation is determined through integrated joint stiffness of the musculoskeletal system. For this reason the patient is placed on the top flexible plate of the balance device in order to perform movement program. While making the moving program the instant angular values measurement of the upper plate in reference to the bottom plate platform is carried out with the use of biaxial angular instrument Then after the measurement of the angular in two orthogonal directions the integrated joint stiffness value of the musculoskeletal system should be determined in particular direction Further, in accordance with the physiological aspects of the process of keeping a balance the fluctuations of the human body should be analysed The device for human body balance measuring includes at least two free of distortion plates, the upper of which is flexible and leaned upon the ball bearing The plates are tight up in the corners by stiffness blocks There is a biaxial angular instrument between the plates Stiffness blocks are implemented in such a way that the resulting rotational stiffness of the flexible platforms is nonlinear and changes in accordance with the exponential law depending on the angle between the plates platform This method and human body balance device face the challenge to improve the reliability and objectivity of the diagnosis taking into account the physiological processes of retaining biological equilibrium.

EFFECT: effectiveness increase in human body balance diagnosis
