Abstract: Ensuring the regularity and correctness of rehabilitation exercises in the home environment is a prerequisite for successful treatment. This clinical study compares balance therapy in the home environment on a conventional balance mat and an instrumented wobble board, with biofeedback supported by a rehabilitation scheme realized as web-based software that controls the course of rehabilitation remotely. The study included 55 patients with knee injuries. The control group consisted of 25 patients (12 females and 13 males, mean age 39 ± 12 years) and the study group of 30 patients (19 females and 11 males, mean age 40 ± 12 years). Treatment effects were compared using the ICS Balance Platform measurement system. Measurements showed significant differences in the change in ICS Balance platform parameters representing the dynamic stability of the patients. The dynamic stability improved more with the instrumented wobble board. The study did not show an influence of different methods of communication with patients during home-based rehabilitation.
