(Abstract)
Half century ago, in Japan many disabled seniors were used to be bed ridden until to die. Even inpatients in the hospital could be trained with few therapists and aids. We accepted passively their fate once the seniors suffered from disease to disabled often went to bed ridden after the events at that period.
Just then Kyoko Takizawa RPT developed Initiative self-training with many kinds of simple tools by her own made to treat her patients followed by a few aids.
(Methods)
We could start our research to certify the advantage of this program in 2005 and 2007 respectively. The former study in nursing home in Kanagawa Prefecture we clarified the data by FIM score. The latter in community field network we clarified the data by Long Term Care Insurance Survey (LTCIS) in Miecho, Ohita Prefecture
(Conclusion)
We have gotten expected results, better in Initiative self-training group than conventional passive training group according to statistics both trials in Kanagawa and Miecho
(Summary)
Prof. Takizawa and we Biophilia members have payed attention to this Initiative self-training program fit to group training in long term nursing home or community field. Prof. Takizawa is happened to be her son luckily just beside her noticed to find this program must save us from the coming aging crisis of ourselves. But she had stubbornly denied to teach her program to him for many years.
We are afraid to sure the shortage of public insurance funds has begun already now. The disabled or frail patients need to maintain their physical capacity or ADL ability only by the public care insurance but by themselves. Initiative self-training will assist to save from these difficult situations to live the residual independent life longer.
