In hospital in contrast to dispensary constant medical control was provided, robot-assisted systems of rehabilitative measures and biological feed back techniques were used. The effectiveness of the performed measured were evaluated in 12 months by orthopedic examination, electroneuromyography and estimation by Knee Society Score scale. Results . The results of comparative orthopedic examination demonstrated the diminishment of pain intensity till moderate figures in all patients; and muscle restoration was more effective two times more, movement amplitude was three times more in patients from basic group. Conclusions .
