It is my pleasure to say “Hello” to Riga people because to visit Riga have been my long dream.
The foundation of current civilization is composed by the philosophy of free equality. It was established by the Code civil, called Code Napoleon.
This concept is diffused with together the wave of Napoleon in Europe. And it became the universal Value by stopping it at the Riga front and Lines of Torres Vedras in Portugal.
It is the reason that I have dreamed visiting Riga for a long time. And the Latvian history has said “The modernization that began after the defeat of Napoleon benefited the whole Europe” about it.
Human beings gain longevity all over the world and have faced the new situation as the super-aged society which cannot be maintained in the current civilization.
I have appealed the necessity of changing the concept of “acceptance of disability” of the Rehabilitation medicine.
I explain systematization of the previous research and contents for this realization in my keynote address. Our systematic research started in 1998 as the 21st-century rehabilitation study group to realize it. Preparation had begun in 1996.
We advanced research with estimating the mechanism of the high treatment effect from the beginning.
We reported the study of the effect first and verified the effect with using the developed device to measure by the national grant respectively.
We changed the name of the study group into the Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy. We organized the international organization.
We announced the article that the previous rehabilitation intervention is not helpful for the disabled elderly.
We measured the cerebral function about the mechanism of the effect by fNIRS and fMRI. It seemed the mechanism elucidation was done in part.
The time of demographic transition has come globally and who agree with our enforcement are increasing.
I present a keynote lecture about the above-mentioned matter and am praying for that it is accepted by participants and start the co-study for it.
I feel strongly necessity and possibility to do the RCT of Passive exercise versus Motivative exercise, which is the indispensable matter and to realize it.
I am wishing that this workshop will be an opportunity for it and will lead to the creation of the new civilization which is constituted by the Freedom, Equality, Fraternity, and “overcome the disability”, in order to make the current civilization adapt to the super-aged society.
