1.1 To attain an excellent body performance level In rehabilitation practices, we therapists often offer support to patients so they can perform the very basic operations smoothly, such as getting up, standing up and walking. A decrease in daily life activity after a fall-caused fracture among senior citizens has now become an object of public concern in rapidly graying societies. Various approaches to fall prevention have therefore been tried, particularly from the viewpoint of preventive medicine. We also lend support to precisely those seniors with decreased body performance so as to improve that very performance level. We shall clarify in what follows how excellent body performance levels can be attained by activating the trunk muscle activity.
