The posturologic assessment of body posture disorders in patients with coxarthrosis

As a result of studying the selected characteristics of some posture indices in 97 patients with coxarthrosis before and after surgical treatment it has been established that the values of posture isolated parameters don't reflect specific manifestations of the disease. It turned out that as far as number of observations increased, even in the groups of patients with unilateral pathology, variability of most posture indices extended and their mathematically expected values tended to zero. The authors came to a conclusion according to which not some isolated quantitative criteria of posture should be used for characterization of postural orthostatic stereotypes, but a special selected population of indices for the specified time period of topographic observation.
