The Oike Sun Nursing Home in Kobe admits old people who are more than sixty-five years old, and who at the same time always need constant nursing care because of their physical or mental condition. For these reasons it is difficult to give them sufficient care in their own homes. Lately the physical therapy performed at the nursing home has been queationed as to its necessity and various problems concerning the therapy have been discussed. Since 1974 the physical therapy service has been given to 41 patients at our nursing home. We have case histories of 23 patients that were given the therapy service for more than one year. Records have been kept on the degree of their functional disorder and on the progress of their recovery from the disorder under the remedy of the therapy service. Our case histories indicate that 1. In most cases the functional disorder does not appeare in their eyesight, hearing or speaking ability or their eating habits, but in their motor ability, that is in transferring to or from a wheel chair, changing clothes, excereting-especially in bathing because of the movement it requires and the bath room fixtures that are not suitable to their disability. 2. The speed of recovery varies and the degree of the improvement seems to be very low three months after the remedy was begun. It required more than six months at least before we could see evident recovery. 3. If the staff of the home could not give motivation to the patients and if the patients could not give their full attention to their physical movements in all aspects of their daily life, the effects of the physical therapy alone were very limited.
