Abstract
"Effectiveness of the sole protection and the plantar ulcer treatment of Micro Cellular Rubber (MCR) sandals" was investigated as a part of research enterprise "Research concerning the diagnosis, treatment, and the prevention of disability of an effective Leprosy in Myanmar" of the international medical treatment cooperation for three years since 2007. Furthermore "Introduction of Orthotics for the footdrop" was recently attempted through those activities. We participated for two research items from 2007, and reported on the research content and the result. We discussed the ideal way of international technical support for the developing countries in the future. Conclusively we recognized further expected works in this field 1) to train more numbers of orthotic practitioners for MCR sandals; 2) to make them skillful; 3) to train Prosthetists and Orthotists (PO) in Myanmar leaders; and 4) to organize helpers in Japan including preparation for publishing guidelines for PO workers.
