Introduction to each specialty (Master's Program Graduate School of Rehabilitation Science)

The research focuses on areas related to the effects of exercise and other interventions on physical function and movement, elucidation of pathological conditions associated with musculoskeletal disorders, prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, and health promotion.
Students will be guided in developing research plans, conducting research, writing papers, and so on, using knowledge and skills in basic medicine and related fields, on topics of their own choosing related to these.

The program focuses on improving therapeutic interventions for people with internal disorders such as respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic disorders, and aims to develop personnel who are equipped to accurately grasp the pathology, judge whether or not to intervene, develop evidence-based plans, implement appropriate interventions, and assess their effectiveness.
In addition, research themes are selected from a wide range of related fields, from basic research using exercise Physiology methods on respiratory and circulatory functions to research on the effects of interventions based on actual clinical practice, and guidance is provided on the formulation of research plans, the implementation of research, and the writing of papers.

This is a research field that focuses on improving therapeutic interventions for people with nervous system disorders, such as cerebrovascular disorders, and aims to develop human resources with advanced knowledge of intervention methods and effectiveness assessments according to the type of disorder and living environment. Since a wide range of themes can be envisioned, including not only acute treatment but also prevention, we will deal with themes that include not only treatment but also lifestyle guidance and human resource development.

This is a field that studies human work activities, such as activities of daily living, leisure activities, and productive activities, from the perspective of their relationship with physical and cognitive functions. Its aim is to contribute to improving the quality of work activities, not only through research related to disabilities but also through the exploration of disability prevention and normal functions.
In research, students set their own themes and use knowledge from previous research and related fields to develop research plans, conduct research, and write papers, thereby cultivating the foundations of their abilities to develop knowledge about human occupational activities.

The purpose of this study is to collect quantitative and qualitative data from people with mental, higher brain, or developmental disabilities that make life difficult for them, in order to elucidate their mental and physical functions, activities/participation, environmental conditions, and the interactions between them, as well as to verify the effectiveness of mental activity rehabilitation techniques.
Students will be guided through the entire process of researching a topic of their own choosing, including literature research, developing a research plan, reviewing research ethics, conducting the research, writing a thesis, and making a presentation.
