【Education】
In the class of diagnostics and practice of functional ability, we give a lecture about basic theory of evaluation such as range of motion measurement, muscle force measurement and sensory test, which are basics for physical therapists. On the other hand, we give a lecture in the class of physical therapy and practice of exercise to acquire for basics of evaluation and exercise therapy for patients who have orthopedic diseases and central nervous system disorders. In the general of physical therapy for sports injury, we study mechanisms of occurrence, method of evaluation and treatment for diseases such as ankle sprain, muscle strain, shin sprint, and ACL injury which frequently occur in sports athletes. In the particular, we are going to learn how to measure using machines such as isokinetic dynamometers and proprioceptive sensation measuring devices which are used for evaluation after sports injury, and finally aiming at acquiring for knowledge to interpret data obtained from these machines. People who go on to graduate school select the theme from contents of study below and are aiming at taking the master’s or doctor’s degree. In future, they will be active as a leader on the fields of sports or academic institutions in domestics and overseas.
