Once we get fat, our BMI increases. Diet requires to reduce the fat first.
Somebody will do diet by fasting foods. However, fasting makes muscles to be consumed first and the fat will remain. So this is not a healthy diet. An adequate exercise to gain muscles and control food amount is recommended.
We have treadmill, leg press and other equipment in our facility. Please ask for any questions.

Internal organ disorder are one of impairment diseases in International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps：ICIDH, from WHO. They consist of the failure of heart, respiratory, KUB, digestive tract etc. Our Centre provides actively heart, respiratory and kidney dysfunction rehabilitation. We have ECG for cardiac test, expired gas analyzing machine, cycle ergometer or treadmills that help to evaluate cardiac & respiratory functions during exercise. Cardiopulmonary exercise test is very important to diagnose several diseases, their severity, life prognosis, effectiveness of treatment, and decide exercise prescriptions (Exercise tolerance).
Furthermore, our medical Centre, Forest Japan Medical Centre, has spirometry machine. It evaluates expiratory & inspiratory amount and their efficiency. This is a useful equipment for diagnosing respiratory tract disease like COPD or bronchial asthma.
If you have experienced heart disease like arrhythmia or angina pectoris, or lung disease like pulmonary emphysema or interstitial pneumonia, or chronic kidney disease and suffer from difficulty in breadthening during exercise and rest, you should come to our Centre once and do the cardiopulmonary test. We use the results and suggest a programme with notices in everyday life and explains what level of muscle trainings are suitable for you.

How was it? A new infection COVD-19 causes spreading virus as it is asymptomatic or the symptom doesn’t become seriously, which results in infected people spreading the virus without realizing. The method of COVID-19 prevention requires you not only to protect from infection, but also to stop you spreading the virus to anybody. Therefore, every individual needs to keep the idea of new lifestyle in your mind. This is the essence to practice infectious prevention. Please try to practice a new style to protect yourself, your family, friend or some neighbors.

No.4: Rehabilitation for low extremity paralysis due to CVD
Equipment for the rehabilitation : Lower limb orthosis, Low frequency wave treatment

Good afternoon
This time, we would like to introduce the rehabilitation for CVD.
Have you ever heard of the disease “CVD” before? CVD stands for “Cerebral Vascular Disease” which is caused by obstruction of blood supplies or ruptured blood vessel that results in cognitive disorders, motor dysfunction and sensory disturbance.
In Japan, the rehabilitation for CVD begins as soon as the patient’s physical condition becomes stable. Especially, first 6 months after the onset are important period. If they are given effective and intensive rehabilitation during that period, they can be recovered more. For those who got CVD should be given rehabilitation and we try to use their remaining brain functions. However, some of them are unable to stand up or walk, depending on the lesion of brain and its severity. For these cases, we provide standing and walking exercise with special lower limb orthosis that fits the patient’s condition. In addition, we use low frequency wave treatment to fascinate paralyzed limbs’ muscles and nerves.
We evaluate each individual’s residual functions and their physical conditions. It aims not only to prevent physical and cognitive functions from being deteriorated, but also to provide rehabilitation to fascinate the remaining functions to the fullest.
For those who have problems with aftereffect of CVD, or if you have any troubles after being discharged, you are welcome to visit our Rehabilitation Centre in Karen.
Next time we would like to introduce the upper extremity rehabilitation for CVD that can be provided in Forest Japan Rehabilitation Centre. Please look forward to the next article.
