The chances of improvement in the patients condition is directly related to the performance and consistency of the physiotherapeutic exercises. In this paper a smart cost-effective and easy to use Feedback Training System for home rehabilitation based on standard resistive elements is introduced. This ensures high accuracy of the exercises performed and offers guidance and control to the patient by offering direct feedback about the performance of the movements. 46 patients were recruited and performed standard physiotherapeutic training to evaluate the system. The results show a significant increase in the patient s ability to reproduce even simple physiotherapeutic exercises when being supported by the Feedback Training System. Thus physiotherapeutic training can be extended into the home environment whilst ensuring a high quality of training. Introduction Medical rehabilitation and postoperative care is focused on restoring body or organ functions with physiotherapeutic and ergotherapeutic methods. The addressed patients require adequate and individualized therapy according to their needs to improve the chances of continuing to live independently and to quickly regain a good and efficient quality of life 1 .
