Biophysical Rehabilitation Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies rehabilitation that uses physical stimuli like a drug to bring out tissue regeneration.
AboutAbout the lab
Physical stimulation, used like a drug.
The Biophysical Rehabilitation Lab aims to establish “regenerative rehabilitation,” which combines physical therapy and regenerative medicine.
The lab explores the mechanisms by which physical agent therapy and exercise therapy promote tissue regeneration in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
It conducts basic and applied research using cell culture and laboratory animals, which is unusual in the field of physical therapy.
The lab also accepts people without a rehabilitation background and teaches them from the basics.
Key terms
- Regenerative rehabilitation
- An approach that combines regenerative medicine and rehabilitation to maximize tissue repair and functional recovery
- Physical agent therapy
- Treatment that uses physical stimuli such as electricity, heat, and ultrasound
- Hyperacute phase
- The very early period immediately after an illness or injury
- Bio 3D printer
- A device that builds three-dimensional tissue using materials such as cells
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to maximize tissue regeneration and functional recovery by applying physical stimulation and adjusting the environment for transplanted cells and the tissue that receives them. It collaborates with Kyoto University Hospital, the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, companies, and overseas universities.
*Illustrative imageRegenerative Rehabilitation
The lab explores methods that combine techniques such as stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering with exercise therapy and physical agent therapy to efficiently promote cell engraftment and tissue remodeling.
*Illustrative imageA World Where Physical Stimulation Can Be Prescribed
Active rehabilitation for patients who cannot begin exercise, such as those in the hyperacute phase with impaired consciousness, has yet to be established. The lab is working to create a world in which physical stimulation can be prescribed like a drug from the hyperacute phase.
*Illustrative imageBuilding Living Tissue with a Bio 3D Printer
Using bio 3D printing technology, the lab is working to develop artificial three-dimensional living tissue. It has also accepted graduate students from fields other than rehabilitation, such as tissue engineering.
