Abstract
With the aging of the population in Japan continuing to progress rapidly, there is a need for the enhancement of welfare services for senior citizens. A system for improved management of activities of daily life, the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP), has been developed by the Japanese Association of Occupational Therapists that is easy for citizens to understand, and can be used to model ideal forms of occupational therapy that can make a contribution to regional integrated care systems.
