Abstract
The invention concerns a method which consists in producing a radiographic image of the skeleton to be studied, determining the position of the body's global axis of gravity (), selecting on the image segments of the skeleton (S-S) to be considered and their articulations (A), locating the main tensor muscles (M-M, M), and determining by calculation the intensity of the return forces exerted by said tensor muscles to compensate the gravitational force.
