The paper describes body balance characteristics needed for neurological diseases classification and for rehabilitation processes controlling during patient recovery processes. These diagnosis factors allow simplify the PSW (Parotec System for Windows) records recognition [1, 2] then a walk-motor disturbances level estimation. The discussed clinical experiments illustrate new methods for Parkinson disease and stroke progress monitoring. This study was based on many observations of patient walk disturbances recorded in PSW files describing the pressure distribution on an insole set of sensors [1, 2, 8]. The gait regular asymmetry in a data spectrum has been noticed as an independent factor from the disease duration and its severity. In majority of analysed cases for Parkinson disease a gravity centre of the body moved into a heel region. Trajectories of foot gravity centre elongation, their irregularities, a floor-contact time and paresis limb loading values increase also were observed. The PSW system has successfully been used for recognition and quantification of walk-motor disturbances, marking the neurological diseases level. Options available in PSW [1, 2] give the user many aims in putting proper diagnosis anyhow, due to simplify the training process of conclusion making unit several methods for data records modifications and the diagnosis factors extraction were also considered.
