Monitoring systems for the activities of the older adults are increasingly desired and requested by the elderly, their families and medical professionals. This paper presents a detailed analysis of depth cameras with highlights of key features, algorithms used in the development of applications using these types of cameras, limitations and problems encountered, and similar applications developed. The goal is to develop a dynamic rehabilitation system, by implementing a dynamic avatar capable of reproducing simple and complex user-defined movements, which is based on concepts similar to video games and focuses mainly on data collected from depth cameras, extraction and the processing of essential data in order to identify and track the human action performed in front of the camera.
