This document is a follow-up of the 10th IBRC1), primarily related to the keynote address of the author.
There were Rich history and culture, and exchange between Japan and Italy, such as the Vatican, and the Roman Empire, and Tensho Ken-o Shonen Shisetsu, which was a mission of four boys and others dispatched to Rome in 1582. Moreover, about the Vatican and the Roman Empire, the author could call for mind the Christianity where more than 2 billion believers are all over the world which began from people of a small number called 12 apostles.
There is also a common feature of the average lifespan exceeding 80 more years old. This follow-up document described the consideration which placed the foundation of such a standard feature and civilization.
At the time of this holding, we renewed the Academy’s homepage and exhibited the study to realize two paradigm shifts, and the results to spread.
The 1st paradigm shift is the restructuring of the rehabilitation medicine by introducing the Takizawa Method and the Motivative exercise. In the century of longevity, the extension of the healthy life expectancy is indispensable to improvement in human beings' welfare so that we drive forward to conjugate the related research fields including medical science, engineering, and social science, and study it.
The 2nd paradigm shift is to make possible “consciousness conversion which enables to live independent living for the disabled elderly even if one got the disability and to realize consciousness conversion toward doing it.”
Human change of rehabilitation medicine in our country is shown below; the rehabilitation medical specialists doubled with 810 to 1787 in about ten years by 2012. Physiotherapists increased in number more than 100 thousand people and 470%. On the other hand, by the increase of person in charge, it is possible to think the disabled elderly would decrease but they doubled from 218 million people in 2000 to 554 million in 2012.
This situation indicates that it is necessary for the restructuring of rehabilitation medical treatment.
The research team now is a small number as that numbers would suggest of 12 apostles literally. Although it is such the present condition, our mind is to make a super-aged society sustainable due to realizing two paradigm shifts through our research in many countries, Japan, Italy, and the world at historically in society. If it looks back upon the Christianity history, which came to have 2 billion or more believers. The history starts with "Begin with a small number, the activity by a small number of group draws a historic result." We are sure that this Conference became the foundation. We expect individual readers, my dear friends' participation. Please read the proceedings shown in the reference1) for details.
