The leg disabled person in hemiparesis of a cerebrovascular disorder sequela, by a fracture, etc. has aimed at the improvement of a physical condition by passive exercise by a physiotherapist. However, the human resources of a physiotherapist were confined. As a result, patients developed contracture and become bedridden in many cases with difficulty in walking.
We are advancing research in order to change this situation. The author presented the device development for the rehabilitation method configuration integrated at CSUN conference in U.S. Los Angeles in March 2000 to the world1). We did it in order to clarify the concept which produced its effect not only the research presentation centering on a previous clinical result. The motivative exercise and Takizawa rehabilitation Method (Method) using a development device realized the improvement from an impairment medical condition. Rehabiliaid Limited Company (the present Biophilia Institute) developed a cushion, the upper-limbs functional training machine, the leg functional training device, the soft leg prosthetic brace, and the walker with new four-wheel with sleds. Thus, the author presented the development of rehabilitation devices which has high validity in an improvement of a physical condition there.
We clarified that Takizawa method with using configuration integrated devices was a new concept and a new rehabilitation method there. A patient train the leg with disabilities by oneself with own unaffected leg using devices developed, Namely, guide of the unaffected leg in which other functions remain, makes it passive exercise by oneself.
The author labeled the training by using developed devices the motivative exercise. In the motivative exercise, a patient train the leg with disabilities by oneself with own unaffected leg using devices developed, namely, guide of the unaffected leg in which functions remain, makes a disability leg passive exercise by oneself. Takizawa method is an implementation system of a Motivative exercise in aged disability person.
We showed points when advancing Takizawa method rehabilitation;
i) do not make a patient strain oneself, ii) do commensurate exercise with the condition and ability at the time of training, iii) use devices at a training room, iv) do exercise without to use a rehabilitation matt,
v) do exercise in a sitting position or a standing position.
The author reported the point and the situation of implementation.
Although 2.3 million bedridden elderlies of 5.2 million elderlies requiring nursing care are predicted to be bedridden, there is a possibility of 30% of them in everyday life independence. Since elderly live independent oneself even if there are disabilities will be the only way make the 21st century, aged society is the society filled with hope, the 21st Century Rehabilitation Research Society advance efforts to realize it.
