title: [The value of certain static stabilometric characteristics].
abstract: The objective of the present work was to measure the value of certain static stabilometric characteristics including the so-called coefficient of sharp change in the vector motion direction. A group of healthy subjects (n=93) and patients presenting with disseminated sclerosis (n=47) were examined for the purpose. The study demonstrated that the coefficient of a sharp change in the vector motion direction may be used as an indirect indicator of the frequency of the body's vibrational movements. Clinical observations indicate that it has a diagnostic value.
