Abstract
Self care and Activities Parallel to Daily Living (APDL) are composed of basic movements; sitting, standing, gait and so on. For example, basic movements of toilet activity ae sitting, sit-to-stand motion, standing and gait. To improve problems of self care and Activities Parallel to Daily Living (APDL), we apply 2 methods: 1) If patients have difficulty of self care and APDL, we evaluate the basic movement related to that difficulty. We treat the problems of the basic movement to solve the problem of self care and APDL. 2) If the problem of the basic movement is obvious, improving the basic movement connected with the problem solves the problems self care and APDL. We need the ability to analyze motion because it is important to find the problems in basic movement in both method. Furthermore, a new theory for basic movement is introduced in this paper.
