: Driving simulators (DS) have been used in medical institutions to evaluate a participant’s driving abilities. Despite the empirical fact that the learning effects of multiple DS runs have been observed in clinical practice, few studies have examined the learning effects. The learning effects of multiple DS runs were examined among 25 older adults and 27 young participants. The participants drove the same course thrice without receiving any advice on the operation. The older adults had significantly more accidents than the young ( p < 0.05) in all the trials. The number of accidents was significantly higher ( p < 0.05) among older adults in the first trial than in the second. No significant difference was observed in the number of accidents between the second and third trials ( p = 0.94). No significant dif - ference in the number of accidents was found among all trials in the younger age groups. Among the different types of accidents noted, “Rear-end collisions due to inadequate deceleration” were observed more frequently among the older adults. “Collisions with a wall or vehicle due to improper maneuvering when turning right or left” were observed more frequently among young drivers. The results suggest that, the older adults may reveal their true driving abilities after at least three trials in the course used in this study. Furthermore, the results suggest that the quality of accidents differ between the older adults and the young.

Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are known to revert to normal cognition, so early intervention during the MCI stage is required. MCI is reported to be associated with a reduction in frontal lobe volume, blood flow, and metabolism; dysfunction of the frontal lobes has also been reported to increase the risk of progressing to dementia. This study verifies the effects of cognitive rehabilitation targeting frontal lobe executive function in MCI.

Introduction: Stroke rehabilitation that considers attention deficits and effectively improves activities of daily living (ADL) requires sufficient evaluation of attention functions. Attention function evaluations are generally performed using neuropsychological tests in patients with stroke. However, such tests become unviable for patients with acute stroke due to fatigue-related unstable general conditions and cannot determine how attention deficits affect ADL. Hence, developing an appropriate observational rating scale is crucial. Therefore, we investigated the factors related to independence in ADL in patients with acute stroke and the usefulness of the Moss Attention Rating Scale (MARS) score in predicting independence in ADL.

Objective: For splints/orthoses fabricated by therapists during hand therapy to be recognized as a novel specialized medical technology, we demonstrated their ease of dissemination, ethics, safety, and effectiveness. We also investigated the technical difficulty and dissemination of splints/orthoses in a first study on the current situation of splint/orthoses fabrication using thermoplastic splinting sheets, and evaluated the effectiveness, safety, and ethics of splinting sheets in a second study.
