Aichi Shukutoku University

What you'll study

• Core clinical practice: practical acquisition of evaluation and treatment techniques in dedicated therapy practice rooms and labs (理学療法治療学実習室, 運動学実習室, ADL実習室).
• Paediatric physiotherapy: modules such as 小児理学療法学, 発達障害理学療法学 and 小児整形外科学 covering developmental trajectories, condition-specific approaches (e.g. cerebral palsy, spina bifida, ASD) and clinical reasoning for goal setting and programme design.
• Developmental disorders: 発達障害学 introduces neurodevelopmental conditions, their mechanisms, support strategies and relevant social welfare resources as a foundation for later clinical courses.
• Community physiotherapy: 地域理学療法学 addresses health promotion, collaboration with local services, and approaches for older adults and people needing support in daily living.
• Communication and teamwork: コミュニケーション実習 and interprofessional learning embedded in the curriculum teach relationship-building with service users and collaborative practice with other professions.
• Research and specialised seminars: faculty-led seminars cover topics such as muscle disorders, acute-phase rehabilitation and energy metabolism, gait and movement analysis/biomechanics, peripheral circulation and posture, paediatric activity and fitness, and community-based prevention and health-span extension.
• Simulated and clinical experience: a simulation lab and on-campus clinic provide hands-on, clinic-integrated education; partnerships with regional health services and a university clinic expose students to real-world patients under faculty supervision.
