Cluster analysis of stabilometry results in 251 subjects (129 men and 122 women, age 20-60 years) was carried out. Four methods were used in the study: European stabilometry variant, Romberg test (European variant), Romberg's test (American variant), and Romberg's test (American Universal variant). Cluster analysis has shown virtually the same diagnostic informative value of all 4 methods. The absolute and relative stabilometry parameters are the most objective, this validating their clinical usefulness. The frequency and amplitude parameters possess no diagnostic significance. The European stabilometry variant is the best fit for practical use and provides information about the function of the ocular, maxillofacial, and other components of the postural system.
