The studies performed were aimed at developing a comprehensive biomechanical approach and on its basis — special innovative orthopaedic devices and methods for the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and patients with musculoskeletal disorders using these devices, as well as their testing. We considered the issues of hydrorehabilitation of children with consequences of cerebral palsy and provision of a lower extremity with hip joint lesions to be moved forward in sagittal plane during walking. Analysis and synthesis were carried out. We applied a comprehensive criteria system approach to consider the biomechanical systems «patient-orthopedic apparatus» and to develop biomechanical schemes. We designed and manufactured orthopaedic devices for ankle and wrist joints for hydrorehabilitation and an orthopaedic apparatus for the whole lower extremity with an electric drive corset, control system, and external energy source. Methods of using the developed orthopedic devices were proposed. The tests showed their high functionality and increased efficiency of hydrorehabilitation in special orthopedic apparatuses and provision of walking in apparatuses using the whole leg with a microprocessor and an external energy source.

Key words: musculoskeletal system, rehabilitation, hydrorehabilitation, orthopedic apparatus, robotic orthopedic apparatus.
