This paper presents the design and implementation of an articular auxiliary rehabilitation system based on Kinect. This is non-ludic software which main target is shoulder rehabilitation based on exercises working in frontal and sagittal plane. This work was developed for the Windows platform using C# programming language and MicrosoftKinect Software Development Kit. This system monitors the patient to perform the exercises properly and email a report to specialist physician. Tests were performed with 30 volunteers without any shoulder injury.
