Abstract

In this paper the concept of 'Mechatronics-based Rehabilitation at Home' is presented. The idea is to transfer as much rehabilitation care as possible from hospitals and rehabilitation centres to patients' homes while keeping the effectiveness and quality of rehabilitation process as we know it today. Such concept naturally heavily relies on technological innovation, especially on control systems and communication technologies. Only then is it possible that the patients perform the rehabilitation exercises remotely and autonomously and the rehabilitation specialists and physiotherapists still have enough information about the progress in the patient to adjust or change the treatment as necessary. Software tools addressing the challenging requirements are presented.
