Instrumental and Methodical Support for Investigation of Load Imbalance of the Locomotor Apparatus

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Results of a study of weight load imbalance in patients with lower limb prostheses and patients with upper limb post mastectomy edema are described. The composition of methods and measuring devices and the biomedical information necessary to assess imbalanced loads with structural and functional asymmetry in the locomotor apparatus considering compensatory reactions affecting it from the locomotor system is considered. The features of these reactions are revealed.
