This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of robotic-mechanical therapy in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. The study highlights the growing relevance of innovative rehabilitation technologies in the management of neurological complications of diabetes mellitus. Special attention is given to the mechanisms of action of robotic systems, including their role in improving neuromuscular coordination, restoring motor function, and enhancing microcirculation. The findings indicate that robotic-assisted therapy significantly improves functional outcomes, reduces neuropathic symptoms, and increases patients’ quality of life. The integration of such technologies into clinical practice is justified as a promising direction in modern rehabilitation medicine.
