Abstract
The paper proposes a solution for monitoring of cardiovascular parameters during rehabilitation after stroke. Stroke is the most important cause of long-term disability in Europe. The effects of stroke can vanish after a short period or can remain for the rest of the life depending on therapeutic program. The system developed for this study is not only therapeutically devices that use virtual reality for rehabilitation exercises but also record one or more biomedical parameters such as: electromyogram (EMG), electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse wave, heart rate (HR), respiration rate or oxygen concentration in the blood (SpO2). These physiological parameters are selected according to the physician’s prescription and the patient needs. It was observed the cardiovascular system status, analyzing the heart rate variability. During therapeutic procedure it was recorded ECG (1 lead) and heart rate variability (HRV) was calculated. The results were used to determine the stress level induced by the rehabilitation program.
