The meaning of the Biophilia An etymology of a biophilia is Latin and is also mentioned with the instinct of the preservation of race as defined in Japanese-English dictionaries, in American dictionaries it is defined as can appreciation for life. And also “bio” is life and “phillia” is love in Greek. The preface of 'The Revolution of Hope" as described by Erich Fromm who is an American philosopher is a reference for biophilia. He described " The love of life which exists in most of us is a latent power that is mobilized and whose behavior can change and can bring about change when life is threatened by danger and is fully recognized." A representation, which has been authorized by Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy according to the proposal of Mr. Takizawa, of "the heart and /or will that motivates a person to keep a respec1tful life even when they become handicapped" is done based on the description of biophilia as described by Eric Fromm. Fact We reported the result that 21 people in 35 who had been evaluated with apraxia of gait of the 49 evaluation targets. had reacquired walking by the research with the national grant by the physicians and/or physical therapists in 2000 and 2001 due to performing the developed rehabilitation program to bedridden patients with a stroke, osteoarthrosis and other medical problems. Most of all the patients of double-hemiplegia by multiple infarctions who had become bedridden could not reacquine walking. The disabled elderly with most of the deficiency of acroparalysis who had become bedridden could not reacquire walking even if there are! no abnormal findings that originate from the external injury by view of the X-rays. When patients who were hospitalized in the specialized bedridden disabled elderly' hospital that had 226 beds were abasia without 10 people in 1988. 59 people in 193 inpatients who rehabili1tated in 1994 have acquired. A woman, 91 years old who had been bedridden by double-hemiplegia had improved the activities of daily living (ADL), reacquired walking and maintained independence of ADL for 3 years. The Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy defined the Takizawa rehabilitation program, the Motivative exercise and the Biophilia Rehabilitation, which consists of Takizawa program that is characteristics of to be methodized, never to exercise on mats as ROM exercise, to exercise without pain, to perform this process to many patients by one therapist in the same time and to be rehabilitated by both nurses and caregivers under the appropriate guidance, the Motivative exercise that expresses the movement of own functional extremity can accompany the movement of own impaired extremity by help of the devices developed and home care. And it is important and necessarily that both of own motivation of the patients to acquire walking from bedridden and the physical therapist motivates the patients to do. The devices are consisted of both commercial products and inventions such as a cushion for positioning, the upper and lower extremities training devises, a flexible leg brace and the walker that has two casters composed with the slide and two wheels.

The prevalent of the Biophilia Rehabilitation will contribute to the disabled elderly achieving care-independence and budget cuts that propose the solution for the aging crisis. We made the hypothesis that the paralyzed part of the nervous system are re-activated due to vitalizing the extension and flexion motor neuronal circuits as a result of the exercise and are trying to prove that. And we admitted to study the evaluation standard that can reflect such results. The aging is good. It was permitted by progress of the medical science and welfare, and/or God but one problem for mankind has occurred. It means the occurrence and increase of the disabled aged people who need care. I believe that we can solve this problem with the study by the Biophilia Rehabilitation based on the new general idea.
