A personalized assessment of the patient using the latest technologies allows to create a personalized electronic record of the state of physical performance to be shared among the patient, the staff at the institute (including the medical doctors and physiotherapists in charge), and the fitness instructors, who deal with of the recovery tasks. The outcome of the program can allow the development of a personalized rehabilitation path that includes physical fitness to be monitored remotely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
