We present a model of a telerehabilitation service that supports patient's comprehensive rehabilitation within home environment under remote supervision of a therapist. The suggested model was applied in a service that the University Rehabilitation Institute in Ljubljana provides to patients after lower limb amputation. The service is based on multimedia contents (movies presenting exercises) that are accessible to the patients over the Internet by using a tablet PC. The patients receive periodical televisits by a therapist. Five patients have been involved in the study. The preliminary results are encouraging - the patients are in better physical shape and thus better prepared for the prosthetic phase of rehabilitation.
