USE OF ROBOTICS IN THE PHYSICAL REHABILITATION OF MILITARY AMPUTEES

Abstract

Actuality. In recent decades, military conflicts have spawned an increasing number of military amputees, highlighting the importance of using robotics in their physical rehabilitation to improve quality of life and social integration. The use of robotics in the physical rehabilitation of soldiers with amputations is of great importance in connection with the growing number of soldiers who received amputations as a result of conflicts and hostilities. This topic is relevant because it aims to improve the quality of life and return to the normal physical functioning of servicemen who have suffered such severe injuries. Aim. This work presents a novel study on the effectiveness and advantages of using robotics in the physical rehabilitation of military amputees. The study aims to evaluate the impact of such technologies on improving the mobility, quality of life and social adaptation of patients, providing unique insights into this field. Materials and methods. A systematic search of scientific sources was carried out, which included the analysis and synthesis of theoretical approaches to the use of robotics in the physical rehabilitation of military amputees. For this purpose, various scientific sources were used, making it possible to generalize and evaluate modern methods and approaches in this area to improve the quality of rehabilitation and social adaptation of military personnel with amputations. Research results. The article is devoted to studying the use of robotics in physically rehabilitating military personnel with amputations. In particular, the relevance of this topic is considered in connection with the increase in the number of military personnel who become victims of amputations as a result of armed conflicts and hostilities. The advantages of using robotics in the rehabilitation process and its impact on improving the mobility, quality of life, and social integration of military personnel are analyzed. Innovative methods and software that contribute to optimising the rehabilitation process are highlighted. The study’s results emphasize the importance of using robotics as a critical element in improving military amputees’ quality of life and social adaptation. It has been established that using robotics in the physical rehabilitation of military amputees improves patients’ mobility and functional capabilities. In particular, using robotics makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of therapeutic procedures, reduce the duration of the rehabilitation process, and increase the general level of independence and quality of life of military amputees. Conclusions. The findings of this research underscore the practical implications of using robotics in the physical rehabilitation of military amputees. This technology not only improves their lives and social integration but also opens up new avenues for research and development in medical science.
