Introduction . Today, taking into account the current international situation, the rehabilitation of combat veterans is becoming particularly relevant. Moreover, the state plays a significant role in solving this problem in relation to this category of persons. The purpose of the study : to study the structure of disorders of body functions, taking into account the ICF, in combat veterans who underwent rehabilitation in a specialized institution GBU RO «GVV» in 2022 and determine their need for various types of rehabilitation. Materials and methods . We studied the structure of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system in 168 combat veterans who underwent rehabilitation in the hospital of GBU RO «GVV» in 2022 and determined their need for various rehabilitation measures using the statistical method and the method of comparative analysis. Results . It has been established that in combat veterans with impaired functions of the central and peripheral nervous system, such limitations of body functions as decreased memory function, impaired sleep function, emotions, impaired intellectual functions, etc., requiring special rehabilitation measures, are quite widespread. The relevance of the work of the multidisciplinary team of the medical organization and its role in establishing a rehabilitation diagnosis in accordance with the ICF is noted. Conclusion . There is a high need for medical rehabilitation measures among combat veterans, which requires an integrated approach with the participation of a wide range of specialists. The international classification of functioning makes it possible to more fully diagnose the characteristics of the functioning of each combat veteran, determine his life limitations, followed by the development of an individual medical rehabilitation plan, which allows to achieve a greater effect from the rehabilitation measures carried out. Recommended rehabilitation measures for the third stage in outpatient clinics may not always be carried out in full for a number of objective reasons, depending on the place of residence of a combat veteran.
