title: Method for studying the processes maintaining equilibrium at rest standing.
abstract: According to current concepts, two processes are responsible for the maintenance of body equilibrium: shifts of the reference point caused by changes in the posture and stabilization of oscillations of the center of mass relative to this point. Exact changes in these processes occurring at various forms of locomotor disorders remain unclear. We proposed an original mathematical method allowing separate evaluation of these two processes responsible for the maintenance of body equilibrium.
