Fraza do cytowania: Kopczyński P., Sobkowska Ł., Matthews‑Brzozowska T. The role of computerized dynamic posturography in the diagnosis of malocclusion – a literature review. Dental Forum. 2016;XLIV(1):69–71. DOI: https://doi.org/10.20883/df.2016.11.

Computerized dynamic posturography is a set of different research methods to assess the quality of postural control. This involves recording and evaluating postural reactions; that is motor responses of the whole body to external stimuli based on stretch reflexes and atrio‑core, time‑dependent latency responses originating in the skeletal muscles. As regards the aetiology of dental‑occlusal defects in relation to the spatial planes of the body, median, horizontal and vertical skeletal muscle disorders are indicated as one of the main predisposing factors which may be accompanied by postural defects. The aim of this publication is to present the role of computerized dynamic posturography in the diagnosis of orthodontic malocclusion, on the basis of the literature.

Key words: orthodontic diagnosis, posturography, posture defects, malocclusion.
