FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of human rehabilitation after surgery, namely to methods of rehabilitation after surgery on lumbar spine by kinesitherapeutic treatment using machine vision. Disclosed is a method involving selection of therapeutic exercises recommended for rehabilitation of the lumbar spine in the form of weight-bearing exercises. After that, formed complexes of therapeutic exercises are transmitted to client application of patient, patient performs specified complex of therapeutic exercises, wherein the therapeutic exercises are performed by the patient taking into account the time after the operation, in front of the video camera associated with the client application, a video sequence is formed in the client application, in which an image of a patient is selected and a skeletal three-dimensional model is constructed in the form of an undirected graph with vertices at reference points, evaluating angular deviations of the lumbar spine of the patient relative to the support points of the right and left hip joint, right and left shoulder joint, as well as relative to the central vertical axis of the lumbar spine of the patient during therapeutic exercises, the obtained angular deviations are compared with the angular deviations of the personal norm of the angular values of the lumbar spine mobility, at the same time informing the patient about errors or giving a signal to the patient about the need to stop doing the exercises, wherein after every 15 sessions of performing a set of exercises on the lumbar spine distributed by days, repeated functional diagnostics is performed to monitor the dynamics of the personal norm, and addition of weight load is permissible only with increase of personal norm of lumbar spine functionality by more than 50 % or after 6 months of regular exercises.
