Abstract
This report introduces the study and training process of physical therapy and rehabilitation mainly for cerebral palsy performed in the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii, where the author had a training experience for six months. Distinctiveness of physical therapy and rehabilitaion service in the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific are as follows: 1) The number of beds is 100, with a large number of staffs of 250. 2) Completeness of service for out-patients, such as full service aiming at returning to work performed at IWC and various programs for keeping body function against chronic diseases. Diversified rehabilitation programs are highly expected in Japan in which the project for training of body function has just started on the basis of the Health Law for the Aged. 3) Short period of hospital treatment, for example for only six weeks in case of cerebral palsy. 4) Long training time per day, average 5 hours in general patients. 5) Training conducted by physical therapists put an emphasis on acquirement of body function at the disability level. In contrast with this, physical therapy in Japan seems to place importance on that at the impariment level. 6) Popularization of practical programs such as home visits and family orientation. 7) Great sympathetic atttitude with rehabilitation was observed in the public.
本报告介绍了笔者在夏威夷檀香山太平洋康复医院(rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific)进行的以脑瘫为主要治疗对象的物理治疗与康复的学习与训练过程,笔者在该医院进行了为期半年的培训。太平洋康复医院物理治疗和康复服务的特点是:1)床位100张,员工250人。2)为门诊病人提供完整的服务,如在IWC万国表进行的旨在重返工作岗位的全面服务,以及各种保持身体功能对抗慢性疾病的方案。在日本,根据《老年人卫生法》,身体机能的训练项目刚刚开始,因此,人们期待多样化的康复方案。3)短期住院治疗,例如脑瘫患者只需6周。4)每天训练时间长,一般患者平均5小时。5)物理治疗师进行的培训强调在残疾水平上获得身体功能。与此相反,日本的物理治疗似乎更重视损伤水平。6)家访、家庭迎新等实用项目的普及。公众对康复表现出极大的同情态度。
