AboutAbout the lab
Seeking rehabilitation strategies from clinical practice
The Rehabilitation Division conducts clinical research in rehabilitation medicine through its clinical care at University of Tsukuba Hospital.
In daily clinical care, it explores how to smoothly reduce the difficulties in daily life that patients face because of physical impairments caused by illness or injury.
Its aims are to clarify the factors that hinder recovery, to improve and develop treatment techniques and related devices, to improve quality of life, and to explore ways to practice multidisciplinary team-based care smoothly.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "Rehabilitation Division."

ResearchResearch themes
When physical impairments arise from various illnesses or injuries, a key challenge in rehabilitation is how to smoothly reduce the difficulties they cause in daily life. While continuing daily clinical care, this lab explores ways to carry out that process safely and efficiently, and ways to make team-based care highly effective.
*Illustrative imageUnderstanding Prospects for Recovery and Quality of Life
The lab aims to determine as accurately as possible how far an impairment that is still recovering will actually improve, and what problems set its limits. It assesses quality of life (QOL), including psychological aspects, and also looks for solutions to the factors that hinder recovery themselves.
*Illustrative imageUsing the HAL Robot Suit
To improve treatment methods, develop new techniques, and improve and develop related devices, the lab is also researching the use in rehabilitation medicine of the HAL robot suit, a wearable robot developed at the Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba.
