Rehabilitation results were evaluated in 85 osteoarthrosis (OA) patients. Systemic analysis methods were used: factor (method of the leading components), cluster and determination. This approach allowed to reveal new relationships between clinical symptoms of OA, their changes in response to rehabilitation. The comparative analysis of various rehabilitation complexes specified some advantages and drawbacks of these complexes which remained unclear in clinical examination or after standard statistical processing. The above complex of methods of systemic analysis proved to be an effective tool in understanding mechanisms of action of different rehabilitation complexes in OA patients.
