The Kinect is one of the most successful systems developed for recording and sensing the natural and intuitive gestures of users. It is a type of motion sensing device that enables the detection and tracking of the movement (rotation, position and velocity) of an individual or objects. The movement tracking may be in real or near-real time. The target users of proposed application are two major groups. The first group is patients. The patients can do exercises in front of Kinect tool which is connected to the application for more result notifications. The second target is specialists who creates the exercise data and manage patients for their digestion and their exercises. They can monitor patient’s activity and make feedbacks for them to improve their exercises. According to the problem, lack of the knowledge of the patient and the importance of home exercise for patient, this research and fulfill the gap between the specialist and patient. Moreover the monitoring exercise system can enhance the quality of the exercise. Therefore the proposed application can increase the specialist and patient satisfaction during the exercise and the result would improve the patient issues.
