The number of people with some kind of physical disabilities in the world is around 1 billion. The rate of people who need physiotherapy increases with the aging world population every passing day. Physiotherapy may not be completed with exercises made only in hospital. Therefore, patients should do the exercises given by the physiotherapist at home. The main problem here is that only 31% of the exercises performed by the patients are done correctly. Nowadays, in addition to traditional treatment methods there are studies on telerehabilitation to solve such problems. The aim of this study is to ensure that the shoulder rehabilitation exercises are performed at home by the patients and to provide physiotherapists with meaningful data about the exercises. In this study, Improved Shoulder Physiotherapy Application (ISPA) was presented using Microsoft Kinect 2 for shoulder rehabilitation exercises. ISPA is a hardware and software product that uses the joints on the patient's skeletal system. In the proposed system, the angular values are calculated using the joint points taken from Kinect 2 and the patients are simultaneously guided to do shoulder rehabilitation exercises correctly.
