Abstract
This paper demonstrates how fuzzy relational information retrieval techniques are utilised in the context of clinical decision making by means of knowledge-based system. Our example of practical application outlines the use of the methods for retrieval of patterns describing dexterity assessment of neurological patients through handwriting. A partial view of the architecture of DEXTERON KBS unit is presented and the role of fuzzy information retrieval techniques in its design is outlined.
