Information Technology for Diagnostics and Correction of Scoliotic Posture Disorders "Myobalance-stimul"

Abstract

Theoretical and practical principles of synthesis of the information technology for diagnostics and personalized correction of scoliosis posture based on control of balance of muscles activity that form the spine vertical orientation depending on a state of balance have been considered. The technology is implemented by the "MYOBALANCE-STIMUL" computer complex. This complex consists of the two-channel programmed myostimulator "MyoBalanceStimul" or an improved two-channel myostimulator "MyoBalanceStimul-2", with an expanded range of myostimulation programs, and a personal computer. The usage of two correction methods, electromyographic feedback and programmed stimulation, the display of the balance of symmetrical back muscles activity on the indicators of the stimulators and on the computer contribute to personalization, stability of correction, assessment of its effectiveness, strengthening of the "muscle corset", prevention of the development of complications.
