Computerized posturography, a development of the measuring system.

A computerized posturography system is composed of a custom made strain gauge force platform and it utilizes commercially available amplifiers. The body sway response signals are digitized for the calculation of the following parameters by a computer: average velocity of body sway, mean value for fore-aft and lateral body sway, and maximal amplitude of body sway. Calf muscles were exposed to vibration to disturb the postural control. The program contains appropriate filters to remove transient and quantification noise.
