EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE INDICATORS IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS.

Objective: The aim: To determine and generalize the indicators of stabilometry in healthy individuals for their further use as a control group in studies of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study was conducted on a stable platform with biofeedback TYMO (Tyromotion). 30 male and female patients aged 18-25 years participated in the study. The following indicators were studied : distance traveled, medial-lateral deviation, anterior-posterior deviation, area of the statokinesiogram (COF), average speed, feedback system, Romberg index. Stabilometry was performed in a bipodal position, standing, in four functional positions: on a hard surface with eyes open and closed, on a soft surface with eyes open and closed.

Results: Results: The reference values of the stabilometric parameters: the traveled distance, medio-lateral deviation, anterior-posterior deviation, the area of the statokinesiogram, the average speed, the feedback system, the Romberg index in healthy individuals aged 18-25 years were determined . When evaluating the feedback system, it was established that the visual component was 34% (32.0; 36.0), the vestibular 34% (32.0; 35.0), the somatosensory 33% (30.0; 36.0). The reflex-driven index was 0.55 (0.46, 0.62), the central nervous system (CNS)-driven index was 1.55 (1.25, 1.89) . The Romberg index M1/ M2 was 0.94 (0.78, 1.07), M2/M3 was 0.98 (0.86, 1.10).

Conclusion: Conclusions: The obtained indicators of movement in the sagittal plane, the area of the statokinesiogram, the average speed of movement, the feedback system (visual, vestibular, proprioceptive (somatosensory) components), the Romberg index (RI) can be considered reference values for healthy individuals aged 18-25 years .
