Suzuki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab measures body movement and eye gaze and applies the results to rehabilitation and to the education of healthcare professionals.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring movement and feeding it back to the person, to support learning about the body.
The Suzuki Lab studies how to measure body movement and muscle activity and apply the results to rehabilitation and health management.
The lab's fields are health management science and physical therapy science, and its main methods are biofeedback and eye tracking.
The lab has investigated how feeding back to individuals their daily movement, measured with activity monitors, changes their daily lives and feelings.
The lab also conducts research on education for healthcare professionals, including how therapists can develop a trained eye for observing movement.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab measures biological information such as body movement, muscle activity, and eye gaze, and investigates what changes when that information is fed back to the individuals themselves and to therapists. It is developing assessment and training methods that can be used in rehabilitation settings, as well as tools for educating healthcare professionals.
*Illustrative imageFeeding Back Body Records to Change Health
When daily activity is recorded with wearable devices such as pedometers and the results are fed back to the individual, how do their body movement, feelings, and interest in their health change? The lab observes and tests this in everyday life.
*Illustrative imageMaking Gait Analysis Easy
In rehabilitation settings, examining how a person walks in detail takes considerable effort. The lab is building an assessment system that simplifies clinical gait analysis, and is also investigating the relationship between gaze and attention when older adults in the community walk.
*Illustrative imageInterprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare Teams
In healthcare, where doctors, nurses, therapists, and others work as a team, the quality of collaboration shapes the quality of care. The lab studies the factors that promote and hinder collaboration, as well as the kind of leadership that guides a team.
