Abstract

It is a report of the Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy Japan holding.

A title of this paper is symbolic because the President of the organization changed from Professor Tetsuhiko Kimura of the rehabilitation medicine to Professor Takuji Shirasawa, the aging control medicine of Juntendo University.

Rehabilitation medicine has accepted the medical expenses by the institution standard and an arrangement standard for many years. It was not a view on the basis of the recovery for which medicine is required, and there were a lot of doctors feel strange on it.

In addition to these standards, the central Council on Medical Service Facilities began moves of "using a revivification degree standard" this time.

We took in the viewpoint of antiaging medicine, not to oppose, but we compounded and adapted it in order to rehabilitation medicine developed into 21st-century type medicine further, for the 13th conference. Although aging control medicine strived with realizing the health old man to be, it was difficult to prevent revelation of dementia and resulting disuse syndrome after the functional fall after aging or fracture.

To hold this Conference aimed at contributing to the fusion of rehabilitation medical treatment and it.

There were two lectures pointed to the increase in future social security cost. One was from the specialist of the Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry of Japan and the other was Shuji Kawai, a president of the Geriatric Health Services Facility in Japan.

Moreover, then they felt us not to enable to keep the same care that currently served. We feared that care relinquishment experience becomes a trauma of Japanese society by not to sustain the present social welfare services.

We aim at social construction where people tell their experience the next generation with pride in a super-aged society.

The new researchers and strategists are expected to participate.
