  • Abstract
    In this paper we describe an extendable point of care system for simultaneous motor rehabilitation (post-stroke and -arthroscopy) patient condition assessment and patient safety observations. Electronic linear and angular accelerometer sensors attached to the human upper or lower limbs gather information about performed therapeutic exercises. The measurement data processing of the vital sign sensors and accelerometers is done in the health hub device in real time with the patient feedback. The movement correctness evaluation and gait analysis is done with ANARX neural network based models. The system is implemented and tested. The evaluation of the test results is presented.
