AboutAbout the lab
Facing disorders of cognitive and motor function.
The Geriatric Cognitive and Motor Dysfunction Lab is a cooperative chair of the Tohoku University Graduate School that carries out basic and clinical research on dementia and musculoskeletal diseases.
Sendai Nishitaga Hospital entered into a partnership with the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine and established the lab in fiscal year 2016.
Disorders of cognitive function and of motor function are regarded as major obstacles to extending healthy life expectancy, and the lab works on research in the area where the two overlap.
Its ultimate goal is to establish personalized medicine programs tailored to each older adult, and it says it also trains specialists by offering master's and doctoral programs.
