Abstract

We started a prophylactic rehabilitation class from fiscal year 2016 and 1 year later we identified 4 problems, namely, a small number of participants (mean, 4.6), a small male population (ratio of 1 male to 9 females), no follow up because only 1 session was given per area, and a low home exercise rate (42.5%). For the class in fiscal year 2017, discussions were held with the comprehensive regional support center. Accordingly, relevant information was disseminated via public relations magazines, neighborhood circulars, and the local government to address the problems with the number of participants and sex ratio, and a series of 4 sessions were held per area to address the problems with the lack of follow-up and continuation of home exercise. Objective assessments (grip strength, one-leg standing, and knee extension strength) were included in the physical assessment. Through these measures, based on questionnaire results, we found that there was an increase in the number of participants and that more participants continued the exercise at home after the class was increased.
