The purpose of this study is to study the effect of the implementation of the method of early surgical rehabilitation on the dynamics of the content of C-reactive protein in the serum of patients after knee arthroplasty. Material and methods. The study included: patients’ questioning, analysis of inpatient medical records, postoperative treatment. Fifty patients with stage 3 gonarthrosis were examined according to N.S. Kosinskaya. Patients were subjected to a study that included an examination of an orthopedic traumatologist with a clinical assessment of the patient's condition on the KOOS (The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) scale. The control of the content of C-reactive protein in serum was performed by immunoturbidimetric analysis at 5 stages of the study. Results. At stage 1, the content of C-reactive protein in the serum of patients in the groups was 1.54 (0.61; 3.65), 14.9 (8.17; 26.3) mg /l, respectively (p> 0.05). At stage 2 of the study, the content of C-reactive protein in groups was 39.58 (19.8; 64.5), 34.55 (23.1; 69.47) mg/l, respectively (p

The paper gives the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), interactions between health changes, the personality and social factors of an individual with therapeutic diseases to define disability criteria and a scientific rationale for the necessity and scope of rehabilitative measures through public health and social protection organizations.

This project has the objective to create a systemof information that includes and manages datarelated to devices of Assistive Technology availablein Colombia and its main characteristics; the projectis directed to people with disability, their familiesand professionals in been the rehabilitation area.For the development of this project four phases have settled down: Bibliographical revision,Gathering of Information, Development ofEngineering of the Software and Amplification ofthe study at National level.At the moment the project is at the phase II,during the time of investigation the resultsobtained have been tools for gathering ofInformation, Instructive which explains thecorrect form for obtaining this tools, home visitsto orthopedic facilities, analysis of diverseproducts and development road of user’s wayaccess.
