According to statistics by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the requiring care elderly’s number increased with 4.51 million people in 2007 from 2.18 million in 2000 and increased 2.06 times.
On the other hand, according to an announcement of Japanese Physical Therapy Association, the physiotherapist (PT) who is a strategist of rehabilitation medical treatment, the member in 2000 were 2 13,321 persons (26,921 successful candidates), and members in 2007 were 48,590 persons (58,647 successful candidates), increased in number by 2.08 times by the membership. Furthermore, the number of the rehabilitation medicine specialists (specialists) were 1384 persons in April 2007 and increased 30-50 persons every year from 1980.
The specialists and PT increased. All Japanese have benefited by the medical insurance in all country, and who needed rehabilitation medical treatment were received without exception.
Why do the disabled elderly requiring care double and do bedridden elderly people increase in number in the situation? Is only the author doubt it, not you?
Though people received rehabilitation medical treatment, those who need care increased in number sharply.
There is a specialist who makes this a "lie." It became clear in the case of article refereeing to a social engineering Journal.
Moreover, although we applied for the research grant of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare about the research of the motivative exercise, evaluation was among the five-point full marks "one point" not usually to point. An examination person told the motivative exercise "A disturbance exercise " and indicated that the research we had done was not research.
They who protect own life at a salary of rehabilitation medical service’s expenses want that the fact those who need care increase is a "lie," although there are also many people who develop a duty and aim at the effective rehabilitation medicine.
We are continuing the research for converting such a situation.
A medical treatment fee system of rehabilitation medicine was used as an institution standard and an arrangement people standard not based on recovery. It would be changed using a revivification degree standard. Moreover, even if the change from the passive exercise to the motivative exercise on the medical treatment system occurred, the confidential relationship with experience with patients and the engaged persons concerned about it would not be spoiled.
We would like to contribute to the innovation of the rehabilitation medicine by learning the multi-domain with absorbing and developing at the turning point and great conversion visiting.
We convince that our study realizes much more a social contribution by the innovation of it and enrich activity of them, while 2 million baby-boomers in 1 grade in Japan become the age of requiring care.
