Popis: We displayed a simulation model of a body on the CRT using a minicomputer. The body sway angles were calculated in the normal subjecs and five patients with equilibrium disorders while standing on the platform of a stabilometer.The simulation program was produced with FORTRAN languages to operate PDP 11/60 minicomputer.In normal subjects, relative indexes of mean and maximum body sway angles showed larger values with eyes closed than those with eyes open.In the patients with equilibrium disorders, especially with vestibular deficiencies, lager values were obtained than those of normal subjects in both indexes.Those results suggest the usefulness of the body sway angles in the estimation of equilibrium disorders.
