title: [The application of computed stabilometry for the diagnostics of vestibular disorders following stapedoplasty and for the estimation of the functional status in man].
abstract: The present work was designed to estimate changes in the quality of the equilibrium function (QEF) and dynamic stabilization indices (DSI) of the vertical position of the body in comparison with the traditional stabilometric characteristics (the length and the area of statokinesigram, mean radius of body deviation, average linear centre of foot pressure displacement velocity). The computed stabilometric technique was used to study the equilibrium function in the patients (n=133) presenting with otorhinolaryngological problems and requiring the surgical treatment. It was shown that selected stabilometric characteristics (such as QEF and DSI) may be useful for control of the efficacy of the treatment of surgical patients; moreover, they can be applied to the evaluation of dynamics of the patients' health status during the postoperative period.
