Abstract
A study undertaken to determine the usefulness of a computer algorithm for assessing one aspect of balance control, the latency of the muscle´s reaction to an unexpected perturbation, is discussed. The procedures, instrumentation, data collection methods, visual determination methods and computer algorithms used are described. The results of visual and computer determinations of latency are presented.<>
