The Rehabilitation Medicine was established on January 1, 2016. It is composed of: a director, a deputy director, 3 residents and 27 technical staffs (19 physical therapists, 5 occupational therapists and 3 speech therapists). Physical therapy addresses impaired motor function (muscular strength, joint range of motion, coordination, cardiopulmonary insufficiency, etc.) and the recovery of basic movement capabilities (rolling over, sitting, standing, walking, etc.). The section provides medical treatment and training using physiotherapy, therapeutic exercise, basic movement training, and the like to enable such recovery. The section has the equipment needed to assess motor functions objectively such as instruments for motion analysis and cardiorespiratory analysis. Occupational therapy provides an assessment of problems with applied motor skills (eating, straightening one's posture, changing one's clothes, excretion, bathing, housework, writing, etc.) due to physical disability or higher brain dysfunction, along with treatment and exercises aimed at the recovery of those abilities. Also, to assess problems with movement, facilities are available that include toilet, bath, and Japanese-style room facilities with instrumentation. The section also provides guidance to families on how to properly assist elderly people and use assistive products--a necessary function for an aging society. In speech-language-hearing therapy, communication impediments such as speech problems, lisps, voice disorders, or higher brain dysfunction are assessed, and treatment or exercises are prescribed and taught. In addition, rehabilitation is conducted in consultation with doctors and nurses for problems with eating or swallowing that may occur along with speech impediments. Additionally, family members and caregivers are given specific guidance as required on how to communicate with the patient or how to handle their problems with eating or swallowing.
