The Present and Future of Research bythe International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy

Abstract

The goal of Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy (BRA) is to clarify the relation between a brain function and a paralysis, and to perform the therapy of stroke patients using the knowledge of the previous researches. Before now, I have proposed that doctors diagnose the recovery level of paralysis by measuring brain function at rehabilitation as well as by rehabilitation scores, and give the adequate medical treatment to the patients. In the 12th International Biophilia Rehabilitation Conference at Keio university, the research group of BRA started with endeavor that our contribution reaches in one of the medical science. I show in this report about the previous, current and future researches by the international Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy. Although many researchers have made effective devices for rehabilitation in some countries, most of the devices are expensive and requires some infrastructures. Our investigative group has tried to make a system of rehabilitation with cheap and effective devices, which we call it “Takizawa method”. The exercises in Takizawa method is motivative exercise, and the traditional method in rehabilitation is passive exercise. We think that Takizawa method will be a standard rehabilitation system in the future in many countries.
