Feasibility of the Introduction of Japanese-Style Rehabilitation Centers to Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam
Brain injury impairs physical functions and activities of daily living (ADL), and thus it often results in the need for long-term care. Societies facing rapid aging are expected to see a greater number of patients with brain injury (e.g., stroke) as compared to societies with younger populations given the accumulation of risk factors as individuals age. This study examines whether Japanese-style rehabilitation can contribute to the prevention of impairment of physical function and activities of daily living (ADL) for patients with brain injuries in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam.
