Modern methods of therapeutic interventions are analyzed, including fall prevention, stone care, pain management, scar management, compression therapy, selection of technical means of rehabilitation, auxiliary devices-verticalizers, therapeutic exercises, as well as psychological support. Particular attention is paid to the role of a multidisciplinary team of specialists, which includes doctors of physical rehabilitation medicine, physical therapists, occupational therapists, assistants, prothetists and psychologists.
Psychological rehabilitation aims to reduce emotional stress, prevent depression and create motivation for an active life. An important aspect is psychotherapeutic support, which helps patients adapt to new conditions, overcome fears and accept changes in their own body.

The key factors affecting the effectiveness of rehabilitation are identified, in particular the level of patient motivation, general health, the presence of concomitant diseases and the availability of modern technologies. The prospects for the development of rehabilitation in the context of innovative approaches, such as prosthetics and digital technologies for monitoring the condition of patients, are considered.
