In nine patients of both sexes (1 man, 8 women) in an age bracket of 19.8–31.8 years the authors assessed repeatedly the stability of the erect position at rest before and after intervention at the site of the crucial disorder of the locomotor apparatus. The crucial spot was assessed in d ifferent subjects by examination using manual methods in the area of the lower extremities and axial organ. The results indicate that improvement occurs in selected stability parameters with the l east interindividual variability if the intervention influenced the primary disorder in the locomotor apparatus.
