Abstract
Objective. To study feasibility of the computer-assisted stabilometry in detection of postural balance changes in patients with degenerative dystrophic diseases of the lumbar spine after decompression and stabilization surgery.
Material and Methods. Postural balance was studied in 62 patients with compression and complex regional pain syndromes associated with the lumbar spine degenerative disease. Patients were examined using the Romberg’s test with eyes open and eyes closed before and after surgical treatment. Changes in the following stabilometric parameters were assessed: center-of-pressure (COP) displacement in the coronal and sagittal planes, path and velocity of COP displacement and its sway area.
Results. Operated patients gained greater freedom of the COP spatial displacement under visual control. Center-of-pressure displacements increased in the coronal and sagittal planes, the COP path lengthened, its velocity and sway area increased.
Conclusion. Stabilometric examination allows controlling compensatory mechanism activation at stages of postural balance recovery to assess the adequacy of patient’s movement pattern formation in the early postoperative period.
