INSTRUMENTAL METHODS OF FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH CONSEQUENCES OF COMBAT INJURIES

Abstract

The protracted russian-ukrainian war has led to a steady increase in the number of patients with complex combat injuries, including combined musculoskeletal, neurological, and psycho-emotional disorders that significantly limit functional independence and social activity. Under these conditions, modern rehabilitation increasingly relies on the integration of instrumental methods of functional diagnostics and information technologies to ensure objective assessment, individual goal setting, and continuous monitoring of recovery processes. This article substantiates the role of instrumental diagnostic tools, such as surface electromyography, gait analysis systems, stabilometry, dynamometry, wearable motion sensors, cardiopulmonary tests, and digital monitoring of pain or fatigue, in the comprehensive assessment of the functional status of military personnel with combat injuries.

Particular attention is paid to information technologies that support clinical decision-making, including electronic rehabilitation records, telerehabilitation platforms, mobile health applications, virtual and augmented reality environments, artificial intelligence-based analytics, and remote biosignal monitoring systems. The article analyzes how the integration of these technologies improves interdisciplinary collaboration, increases patient engagement, allows for adaptive modification of therapeutic programs, and increases the transparency and reproducibility of clinical outcomes.

Based on a synthesis of current scientific literature and generalized results of clinical implementation in rehabilitation facilities for wounded military personnel, the article demonstrates that technology-supported functional diagnostics contributes to earlier detection of motor disorders, more accurate assessment of progress, and optimization of therapy intensity. The results of the study show that digital solutions contribute to the continuity of medical care at the inpatient and outpatient stages, reduce barriers to access to specialized services, and support long-term follow-up after discharge. The study concludes that the combined use of instrumental assessment methods and information technology is a promising direction for the development of military medical rehabilitation, creating a basis for evidence-based practice and personalized rehabilitation strategies for patients with combat injuries.
