This field of study aims to educate and train undergraduate students to become leaders in the system of integrated community care and in our wider society. In April 2020, the Masters course in Medical Health Sciences was established in the Graduate School of Welfare and Health Sciences. In 2021, the field of Physical Therapy Research was newly opened in the Oita University Graduate School of Medicine. Graduates from the Masters course in Medical Health Sciences or those with a background of physical therapy and other related areas are invited to join our program and conduct cutting edge research in rehabilitation sciences and other health-related fields. Graduates in this area of research are expected to become international leaders in their fields. Areas of research of the faculty include basic medicine, neuroscience, physical therapy of motor function, pediatric physical therapy, and community-based physical therapy. Applicants should carefully review each faculty member’s area(s) of research before contacting the potential mentor to discuss possible research projects. If you are an undergraduate student, feel free to inquire about applications to the Masters course in the Graduate School of Welfare and Health Sciences. To the physical therapy research field News 2022/04/29 NEW The list of publications from PTRF in 2021 uploaded 2022/01/25 Website uploaded!NEW Faculty member Masaharu AsaiPhD, PTProfessor   Research Department of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation sciences, and Geriatric Physical Therapy sciences. 1. Study on effect of the rehabilitation for patients with respiratory disorder, and cardiovascular disease. The usefulness of the exercise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cases and heart failure cases is reported. We are going to inspect an effect of the exercise　with the severe cardiopulmonary failure cases. In addition, we intend to investigate the synergy effect of exercise and medications at the cardiopulmonary failure patients. 2. Study of judging the ingestion/swallow function in an aged person and a patient having the ingestion/swallow difficulty. It is reported that "an aspiration" is related to most of pneumonia of the elderly person.　We study the evaluation for early detecting of misswallowing/aspiration, and the effect of the exercise for the person whom a deglutition function decreased. 3. Study of physical function and social participation of the elderly person. It is known that the social participation has a relation with physical function. We are studying "the relations with social participation and physical and oral function of elderly person", and “the variation of the physical function of the residents of participating in community-based exercise lesson”. And we are going to continue these studies. 4. Study of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient on early detection and aggravation prevention. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is respiratory illness to develop for inhaling a harmful particle for a long term. Early detection and early treatment of COPD are important. In addition, with respect to COPD, the targets shall be to increase recognition that prevention is possible by stopping smoking since smoking is the major cause of COPD, and that early detection is important. We work on early detection and recognition improvement using a result of spirometry and "Lung age"　for residents.

However, high-intensity exercise is difficult for the elderly people and patients. In the first place, such exercises are dangerous for them. In the physical therapy room, we often experience improved muscle function for the elderly people and patients even with low-intensity exercise. Also, the effects of strength training on atrophied muscles show up much faster than the effects on healthy muscles. Our aim is to clarify the "wonders" and to develop new physical therapies that overturn the existing theories. 2．Physiotherapy effects on muscle injuries and their mechanisms In general, it is said that rest, cooling, compression, and elevation are important for the treatment of muscle injuries that occur during sports. In recent years, however, it has become clear that the inflammatory response in muscle injury is essential for muscle regeneration, and that inflammation suppression may prevent recovery from muscle injury. Macrophages and muscle stem cells seem to be involved in this process. In addition, mechanical stimulation in physical therapy seems to accelerate the process of clearance and regeneration of injured muscle tissues. Our aim is to elucidate the mechanism of muscle repair under inflammatory conditions and to develop new physical therapies that overturn existing theories.

This laboratory aims to investigate free radical scavenging activity of drugs by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. TOF/MS imaging of high-energy phosphates in brain Brain consumes about one fifth of energy (i.e., ATP) produced in body. The laboratory visualizes changes in high-energy phosphates (ATP, ADP, AMP) after ischemia/reperfusion in brain to understand mechanism of vulnerability to ischemia. Prediction of perioperative complication using metabolomic analysis of body fluid It is critical to predict and prevent perioperative complications to reduce death and severe sequelae after surgery. The laboratory aims to detect patients at risk of perioperative complications using NMR metabolomics of blood and urine of patients during operation. Health-related crisis in evacuation shelters after natural disasters Japan is a country where natural disasters often occur. A new project has just started to investigate health-related problems and concerns in evacuation shelters after natural disasters under the initiative of the President of the Oita University. We have formed a transdisciplinary team, and conduct researches of environment, infection and health care service in evacuation shelters to manage health-related crisis.

However, degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis of the knee occur when the mechanical stress on the joint increases caused by aging or injury, leading to activity limitation. It is very important for physical therapists who treat musculoskeletal diseases to clarify the causes of the onset and progression of the disease and to develop an objective evaluation method to provide physical therapy tailored to each patient. Our laboratory uses three-dimensional motion analysis systems, electromyographs, and accelerometers to clarify the characteristics of movements of elderly patients and patients with musculoskeletal diseases. Our goal is to contribute to the development of physical therapy. Research topics 1. Research to elucidate the causes of development and progression of musculoskeletal diseases. Key words: osteoarthritis, mechanical stress, coordination, variability, motion analysis 2. Research to establish subgrouping of musculoskeletal diseases based on assessment of motor function. Key words: muscle dysfunction, limitation of joint range of motion, pain, physical therapy evaluation 3. A case study to verify the effectiveness of physical therapy using a new objective evaluation method. Key words: motion sensor, electromyograph, video camera Contact：anan-masaya*oita-u.ac.jp※Please replace "*" with "＠" before sending an e-mail Research map × Rui-Cheng JiPhD, MDAssociate Professor   Research Rui-Cheng Ji The role of the lymphatic system and its mechanism in the recovery process of muscle atrophy and injury The lymphatic system consisting of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes and lymphatic organs, plays an important role in the transport of interstitial fluid back to the blood and in immune response. Until now we have focused on structural and functional evaluation of the lymphatic vessels in various animal disease models. As a result, the disease-specific regulation of lymphatic vessels has been elucidated in tumor growth and metastasis, lymphedema, inflammation and wound healing. Moreover, it has become clear in recent years that lymphangiogenesis is largely involved in different muscle disorders and repair processes, e.g., muscle atrophy and injury. The signaling pathway of lymphatic endothelial cells induced by mechanical stimulation may significantly affect physical therapy in the muscle diseases. Therefore, scientific verification of lymphatic vessels could lead to the development of more effective physical therapy and new drugs.

At this time, this changed motor function is being controlled by brain. In other words, it can be said that physical therapy induces changes in motor function by modulating brain function. This means that the relationship between brain and physical therapy has a very strong connection. To pursue the truth related to physical therapy, this laboratory investigates fundamental physical therapy from the viewpoint of the neuroscience.
