The priority of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) to hemiplegic patients on the affected side must be reconsidered due to a lack of effect in its procedure. By the improvement of the theory and techniques of PNF, the improvement of therapeutic effects on hemiplegia patients could be expected in connection with their progress, however the outcome of medical examination has hardly been changed on hemiplegia patients at the clinical aspect over the last 40 years. Although PNF is thought to be more suitable for the normalization of a movement pattern to perform synthetic coordinated movements by affected side priority, it takes too long to lead to the active contraction of the peripheral muscles. Sometimes, even the atrophy of an unaffected side and the trunk can be seen. In considering the PNF of unaffected side priority the effect of facilitation is larger than that of affected side priority. Therefore, if the unaffected priority is used a smaller number of patients will be bedridden by atrophy and contracture. From the recent research on new born power of a neural stem cell (NSC), the elucidation of the mechanism for the effectiveness of the kinetic rehabilitation by the unaffected side priority enables us to expect the functional recovery of a damaged area. The NSC would also affect to the rehabilitation in the realm of the nervous system. It's recommended to try to use and get the evidence of PNF by unaffected side priority.

“…Also, a person who is over 65 years old tends to get less improvement over the time of his hospitalization." Through these facts, the author argues and announces it all over the world that the innovation and restructuring of the rehabilitation medicine is a necessity in order to make society sustainable without the inordinate burden to the next generation 5) . While looking back upon the past, the author presents how rehabilitation medicine should be changed against the current approach.…”

This article describes the steps we should undertake to establish a sustainable super-aged society. The article consists of the following chapters: 1. Foreword 2. The motive, process and progress of the approach 3. The reports on the established Takizawa Method and Motivative Exercise 4. Present social structure of Japan and the world 5. Features of the current rehabilitation medicine and medical treatment 6. Our studies 7. Results of studies 8. Conclusions, References and Acknowledgments. The research findings about the brain functional activation by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) are shown. It is concluded that a clear verification of brain functional improvement and the randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the current method of rehabilitation against the Takizawa method are necessary from now on. 1. Foreword Japan is a country where many people live to advanced age. This results from the development of medical treatment, hygiene, health and welfare. There are firm regulations in Japan which have helped obtain such a result. The rule-based control also concerns the rehabilitative medical treatment. However, the treatment result has inconsistency. Under the universal coverage of public health insurance of all the Japanese, the number of people who require care, based on the elderly care insurance, was 5 million in October, 2010. That was an increase by 680000 from 4320000 people at the end of March, 2006. All the people requiring such care received a treatment based on rehabilitation medicine. On the other hand, the analysis of the claim data of Medicare in a rehabilitation hospital in the USA from 1987 through 1994 shows the fact that the spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, femoral neck fracture, arthritis and other joint diseases made people stay longer in the hospital and increased the costs 1). The author of this article began to research the possibility of restructuring this ineffective rehabilitation medicine from 1987, almost 24 years ago. Once Dr. Kunihiko Fukui who worked in rehabilitation medicine for 50 years as a pioneer of rehabilitative medical treatment in Japan said 2), 3) , "It comes to nothing; waste the time and effort without effect for the patients to continue the current rehabilitation medical treatment especially for the elderly."
