  • Abstract
    Authors of this research study use the motion analysis methods to evaluate the status of patients with different posture disorders. Motion analysis is based on marker-less system that is designed to capture trajectories of motion of individual body segments and to obtain the most suitable biomechanical parameters during the balance control oriented tests. First eleven patients were analyzed to verify both the system functionality and the methodology suitability. All are continuously modified and improved. Even if every subject of such specific group of patients must be analyzed and evaluated separately as first, the clinicians suppose that increasing number of here included subjects and increasing database of patients´ data will help them identify the background of closely related groups of posture disorders and also to improve the patients´ health status.
