Department of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Science

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Science is a clinical application science where research targets various human disabilities and persons with those disabilities. This field is based on physical therapy and occupational therapy. Along with analyzing human movements, mental and daily life activities, and abnormalities from the viewpoint of disorder prevention, evaluation and handling of physical and occupational therapy for the purpose of recovery of motor and mental disabilities and the improvement of life activities are carried out in light of precedent case studies, as well as considering the analysis methods of clinical decision-making in the process.
 The purpose of the Doctoral Course is to train clinical researchers as educators, researchers, and team leaders in health medicine, who can take the lead in original and academic research in the field of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Science, and to acquire a wide-range of knowledge and high-level expert ability and morality.
