Abstract

The article describes the first version of application designed for virtual rehabilitation patients. The aim of this application is to facilitate, access and helps patients get regular exercise. The basic requirement is to perform exercises without special equipment. Therefore, our idea emerged to specialize in smartphone and use sensors incorporated therein. The article describes two kinds of sensors normally based in a smartphone with examples how it could be used. The application was developed for the Android operating system because of the broader representation in our region.
