Sažetak
Dynamic postural testing might be relevant both to healthy individuals and patients. Bad postures and scolioses in adolescence are the groups targeted here. We have introduced a simple test employing a custom designed balance platform, previously applied successfully to healthy student population. In the present study we develop a comprehensive measurement set-up, using this same platform, and including standard force platform and EMG apparatus, and kinesiological testing procedure - lasting in total cca. 60 min. and requiring three operators - to provide complex laboratory testing of postural status. Application of this procedure to three age-matched subject samples of: 38 scolioses, 31 bad postures, and 37 normals revealed that, in general, the degree of scoliosis correlates with an increased time of performance of kinesiological tests. Possible application of this procedure is in clinics, as an aid in medical diagnosis and during treatment.
