Recent progresses of the research in posture and movement and clinical applications of many techniques devised for body sway measurement were reviewed.The world-wide tendency, in which the body sway recording has been performed using the straingauge technique to estimate dynamic equilibrium rather than static balance, is going to be prevailing throughout the research institutes of vestibulospinal disorders in Japan. One of the current topics on the body sway is how to record and analyze the stepping or walking movements. The author introduced two new techniques of body sway recording while stepping. Registration of head movement by accelerometers and recording change in shoulder angulation are useful tools for evaluation of ataxia. The application of those techniques to differential diagnosis of ataxic and vertiginous disorders will be expected in near future.
