The integral index of equilibrium function (IIEF) was proposed for rapid diagnosis of the equilibrium function. Calculation of IIEF is based on comparison of the results of resting stabilometry in European position of the patient's feet with those of functional tests (optostimulation, sight deprivation, Romberg's position with sight deprivation). Calculations of stability and dynamic component indices were made using the parameter of the deviation rate of the pressure center of a human body standing on the stabilometer platform. IIEF was estimated in 118 healthy subjects aged from 17 to 82 years. Age- and sex-related differences in some age groups were studied.
