Psychologic characteristics of patients with coxarthrosis

Forty four female patients with degenerative-dystrophic hip diseases were subjected to clinical and psychological examination. Psychological method included Minnesota Multiphasic Personal Inventory test and Hand test. It was shown that patients with marked disorders of static-dynamic function, bilateral hip joint pathology accompanied spine osteochondrosis as well as the patients with relatively early stage of the disease and with high level of pain sense were the most disadaptied. These data may be used for the elaboration of the complex rehabilitation program.
