Abstract
The body oscillations are studied in order to investigate the maintenance of the equilibrium and the relevant factors in this respect or in the search of new diagnostic tools in certain pathological conditions. Research in this field was initiated in the last century with the work of Hinsdale (1887), Leitersdor- fer (1897) and others, and has continued and widened ever since. The fact that so old a problem still focuses such a widespread interest is primarily explained by its particular practical value. Thus it will hardly be an overestimation to state that investigation of space is, to a certain extent, related to advance in the understanding and control of the body equilibrium. The same applies to certain branches of clinical medicine, as neurology and oto-neurology, applied physiology and ergonomy.
