Abstract

The InterCriteria decision making approach is based on two fundamental concepts: intuitionistic fuzzy sets and index matrices. This paper continues a series of research on the application of approach of InterCriteria Analysis (ICrA) on real medical data. The ICrA is applied on the results of physiotherapeutic treatment and kinesiotherapeutical program characteristics. The main goal is an improvement of general quality of patients’ life through practices of specific methodology of kinesiotherapy. The knee performs the function of a medial motor link in the kinetic chain of the lower limb. The osteoarthritis is one of the most devastating chronic conditions that affect people around the world. The paper describes achieved results from using a multicriteria decision making approach of analyzing the treatment results of patients with Osteoarthritis disease in order to improve the process of taking decisions about the treatment course.
