Use of spectral analysis of tremor for the diagnosis of orthopaedic diseases

Spectral analysis of tremor was used for the evaluation of the functional state of loco-motor system in patients with spine osteochondrosis and scoliosis. The significance of tremor in diagnosis of that pathology was detected. The method allows to define the peculiarities of spectral features of tremor depending on the manifestations of the degenerative dystrophic changes in the spine. The coefficients of the qualitative evaluation of painful muscular-tonic response in the formation of pain syndrome are defined and some complications of osteochondrosis are detected. Spectral analysis of tremor allows to reveal minimum changes in the function of neuromuscular system which accompany the process of scoliosis formation. The coefficient obtained gives the possibility to assess integrally the myodystonic syndrome taking into account both the increase and the decrease of muscular tonicity as well as to observe the dynamics of scoliotic curvature during the course of treatment. Possibility to gain information as well as high sensitivity and non invasiveness of this method allow to use it as an additional one for the diagnosis and objectification of locomotor pathology.
