The aim of the study is to develop visualisations suitable for rehabilitation and training of patients with cerebral palsy in home conditions. The specially prepared visualisations were demonstrated to 10 children with cerebral palsy to find the most effective visualisations based on their own opinion. During the experimental part of this study, electromyogram, vital signs and skin conductance measurements of volunteer participants were registered. After the experimental part, participants and physiotherapists were interviewed. It was concluded that a biofeedback method of electromyography is suitable as a rehabilitation method in home conditions, if the visualisation is based on multimedia.
