Congratulatory address

Abstract

The 12th International Biophilia Rehabilitation Conference and the 19th Conference of the Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy are held under the main theme "the proposition of the restructuring rehabilitation medicine and the autonomous rehabilitation that realize cerebral functions activate". Both of them are organized on three campuses of the Keio University as Hiyoshi, Yagami, and SFC under co-sponsorship of us. Prof. Shigeo Takizawa, the Biophilia Institute, Conference Chair is an old alumnus and Prof. Toshiyuki Tanaka is one of Keio University of science and engineering, Conference Co-Chair.
On behalf of the entire community of Keio University, it is my great honor to extend my congratulatory address for its successful holding. Since the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy (IBRA) activity contributes to the improvement of the functional recovery of advanced age disabled persons and the welfare of the people of each country, it is evaluated highly from the government of each country. I am aware that the IBRA expects sublimating from "experience" to a "science" about the proposal of the autonomous rehabilitation technique. And in the history of 19 times holding, 5 times of Conferences were held in the Keio University. Then an international workshop was held the in the historical and well-known Mita library. It is pleased for me that the participation of the Keio persons including has been contributing to the IBRA activity.
The medical treatment fee system of the rehabilitation medicine has been used the institution norm and a staff assignment norm for many years. It was not an idea of medicine on the basis of the recovery asking and there were some doctors who have doubts about the propriety of it. Moreover there is a move to use a cure effect norm by the Central Council on Medical Service Facilities. Adding that, the measure of the improvement in rehabilitation medicine by WHO has also started. The IBRA members have looked to study mechanism for a cerebral function in order to enable to overcome and/or cure from the diagnosis of the impairment by the Kaken grant, which was Prof. Yoshiyasu Takefuji of Keio University a representative.
As Prof. Newton’s discovery of the universal gravitation was found out historically from the apple falling, there were many examples that experiential phenomenon became the explanation of advanced scientific phenomenon, theorization and progress of a science.
In the IBRC 2015, a researcher gathers from some countries in the world, and they will study how to realize advanced age disabled person's functional restoration and especially the cerebral function activation in rehabilitation medicine due to base on the technological innovation and the enforcement propulsion of autonomous rehabilitation. An advanced age disabled person's functional restoration realization means elderly people's independence living, and the result of IBRC 2015 involves a big possibility of making a super-aged society sustainable.
I express deep gratitude to the efforts of IBRA and BRA participants in order to achieve greater success in the advancement of science.
And I express congratulations with preying to become their endeavor a big gospel to world people who acquire long life living.
