Good morning everyone. This time we would like to introduce about equipment for rehabilitation of the internal organ disorder. Every equipment is already installed in our Centre.
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.
