Objective. The aim of the scientific work was to carry out a psychophysiographic assessment of specialties of the rehabilitation profile and determine its role in the context of ensuring the effective training of rehabilitation specialists. Materials and methods. During the performance of scientific work the methods of medico-social analysis and expert assessment, as well as the method of dynamic observation, were used to perform a psychophysiographic professional assessment of the characteristics of labor in such specialties of the rehabilitation profile as doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicinе, physical therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist assistant, occupational therapist assistant. according to the labor activity performed. To implement their leading provisions, a specially developed expert evaluation questionnaire was used, which consisted of 57 questions that involved determining the level of professional importance of psychophysiological functions. The statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out on the basis of the application package of multidimensional statistical analysis "Statistica 6.1" (license number AXX910A374605FA). Results. It has been established that to the professionally important psychophysiological functions of specialties of the rehabilitation profile, which determine the leading components of its psychophysiograms, should be attributed indicators of the speed of simple and differentiated visual-motor reaction, balance and mobility of nervous processes, endurance of the nervous system, strength of excitation and inhibition processes, as well as resistance to the influence of monotony phenomena, characteristics of visual acuity, differentiated light sensitivity, the volume of visual fields, the critical frequency of the fusion of light flashes and the speed of visual perception, the characteristics of differentiated tactile sensitivity, proprioceptive sensitivity, hearing acuity and spatial-auditory orientation, characteristics of differentiated muscle-joint sensitivity, dexterity and coordination of finger movements, coordination of hand movements, combined coordination of hand movements, coordination of hand movements without and under visual control, pace of movements, combined coordination of hand and leg movements, muscles muscular endurance and muscle strength of hands, indicators of volume, switching, distribution, stability and concentration of attention, semantic working memory, operational and practical thinking and spatial perception. It was revealed that the very presence of the specified psychophysiological functions in the structure of the psychophysiograms of the main specialties of the rehabilitation profile is too important both a theoretical point of view, indicating the commonality and unity of most of them, as well as the presence of certain structural features of some of them and emphasizes the fact, that the process of developing a strategy for building science-based approaches to improving the level of professional training of rehabilitation specialists should condition their consideration both at the stage of training and at the stage of performing professional activities. Conclusions. In the course of the conducted research, a psychophysiographic evaluation of the specialties of the rehabilitation profile (doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicinе, physical therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist assistant, occupational therapist assistant) was carried out and its role was determined in the context of ensuring the effective training of rehabilitation specialists.
