Concretely, advice to the physical therapy curriculum and the lecture and practice of the specialized subjects were done. The curriculum of HSUM was composed referring to the curriculum of Gunma University based on the specified rule of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan. Moreover, charge subjects of Gunma University were centered on the lecture and practice of the kinesiology and the evaluation based on the demand from HSUM.
