Laterography

Laterography is a research method that is used to study the laterality (spatial orientation) of objects in space. This method was developed in the 1950s and is used in a variety of fields, including psychology, neuroscience and medicine.

Laterography is based on the principle that objects on the left or right side are perceived differently. For example, if you look at an object from the left, it will appear larger than if you look at it from the right. This effect is called the Labbert illusion or the vertical illusion.

Laterography uses a special apparatus that allows you to record the position of a person’s eyes and head. Then the images of objects located on different sides are compared with each other. This makes it possible to determine which side is preferable for a person and how it affects his perception of objects.

In addition, laterography can be used to study the influence of various factors on human laterality, such as age, gender, nationality and others. For example, studies have shown that in right-handed people the left side is more dominant than the right, and in left-handed people the opposite is true.

Thus, laterography is an important tool for studying human spatial orientation and can have practical applications in various fields.

Laterography is a method of recording radiographs used for diseases of the hip joint. There are moving and stationary (fixed) laterography. The study of mobile laterography makes it possible to study the nature and sequence of movements (flexion, adduction, abduction, extension) of all parts of the joint on each side.
