Abstract

The issue of rehabilitation of students with disabilities as a result of the war in higher education is currently one of the most urgent since their number is constantly increasing due to the continuation of military operations and terrorist attacks in Russia. The purpose of the research was to determine the reliability and validity of the developed information system for controlling balance, posture, range of motion, and proprioceptive abilities of disabled students with brain injuries as a result of war. Material. 42 first-year students with disabilities who received mild head brain injuries as a result of the war were involved in the study. The results. An information system has been developed for the implementation of the test process and automated data collection. The information system is built on the basis of the latest achievements in computer engineering and developed software. The basis of our development is a network of distance sensors, which have different sensitivities depending on the required functions, but their main characteristic is the range, or detection zone. The information on the student’s performance of the test task is recorded by a network of sensors and automatically transmitted to the controller by Bluetooth wireless means of information transmission, and then to a personal computer with a simple graphic interface. The obtained values are processed by the developed software, filtered and presented graphically and in numerical units. According to the results of the correlation analysis, it was established that the numerical values of test reliability and validity, in the case of fixation of the results by the developed information system, reach the “high” value. On the other hand, in the case of fixing the results traditionally, the reliability is at the level of “medium”, and the validity is “low”. Conclusions. The application of technological achievements of computer engineering in the process of physical rehabilitation is the basis of improvement and objectification of methods of data collection, their analysis and interpretation, and, therefore, a leading factor in obtaining competitive advantages in the process of permanent control of the rehabilitation process. The use of the developed information system contributes to the objectivity of control and significant time savings, as it ensures immediate results and the elimination of mechanical and mathematical errors in the processing of results and their presentation.
