The purpose of the study is to improve the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation in elderly individuals with diabetes mellitus through physical exercise combined with the use of rehabilitation equipment from the 'Stabilan-01-2' complex. Research methods and organization. The methods of analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experimentation, and mathematical statistics were used. The study was conducted at the RSBI 'Khabarovsk Special Veterans' Home No. 1'. Research results and conclusions. The reliable improvement in balance and coordination observed during the study in elderly women with diabetes indicates the effectiveness of the developed methodology. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the combined use of physical exercises and rehabilitation equipment from the 'Stabilan-01-2' complex is advisable for correcting balance disorders in elderly individuals with diabetes.
