理療臨床における予診票記録システムと施術録記録システムの開発

摘要

厚生労働省の2000年の調査によると全国の視覚障害者の数は30万人を超える．このうち交通事故や疾病による中途失明者の数は15万人である．つまり視覚障害者の半数は後天性の障害であるといえる．視覚障害者の選択する代表的な職業として鍼灸理療師が挙げられる．理療師の技術を学ぶために全国の盲学校や障害者リハビリテーションセンターに理療教育課程が設置されている．%This paper describes electronic medical chart storing system for acupuncture by using pen-input. Most people with acquired visual disabilities in Japan are eager to be occupationally independent through obtainment of licenses to perform services such as massage, acupuncture, and moxibustion. They are enrolled in "Rieyo" training courses and receive special education for three or five years at five national institutions. An important obstacle to their "Riryo" training is reading and writing method. Especially it is difficult for middle-aged or elderly persons with visual disabilities. We confirmed the effectiveness of this system from the beginner's experiment results.
