Abstract
Epidemiological studies show that regular exercise sessions are the most important pillars in the field of cardiologic rehabilitation. For many diseases a correctly implemented strength training therapy can improve physical fitness and health. In this work a novel pictorial strength measurement method for home-based training is presented. In order to reduce the risk of injury during the training session, simple elastic bands can be used as training devices. Such systems can make therapeutical processes more effective while simultaneously reduce the overall costs of therapy.
