Review of domestic inventions on methods for diagnostics of postural disorders of the musculoskal system

The development of the musculoskeletal system depends on many components of anatomically determined changes in the body, the structure of movement patterns and the mechanisms of action involved in it. Postural disorders can arise as a result of various reasons and be a source of further changes in the body, influencing the development of compensatory changes and functional transformations of the motor sphere. Diagnosis of the state of the musculoskeletal system is an urgent task, through which many somatic changes can be corrected or compensated in a timely manner.

This article reviews patent documents from databases such as FIPS, Orbit, Google patents over the past 30 years. It was revealed that the study of postural disorders is carried out in four areas of study: visual assessment in a standing position; diagnostic methods using stabilometric platforms; characteristics of disturbances in the assessment of muscle electrical potentials and analysis of the kinematics of motor actions during movement. In their content aspect, these diagnostic methods are focused on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the location of the boundaries of the regions of bone segments, the center of gravity of the body and the parameters of its movement during motor action; assessment of electromyographic indicators of coordination of muscle efforts in static and dynamic positions; analysis of the biomechanics of movement patterns with consideration of various components of the motor act.
