生活のデザイン ハンセン病療養所における自助具、義肢、補装具とその使い手たち

Rehabilitation is not the only rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is that those who cannot walk walk, those who do not have a broom have a broom, and those who cannot have a fork have a fork. Independence must mean that it takes.

(Kaoru Tashiro "Independence of the Handicapped" "Tama" Vol. 41, No. 11, November 1960)

 

Patients and Former leprosy patients at the Leprosy sanatorium have used various tools to live in their own way, despite their inconvenience in activities of daily living due to neuropathy.
In the past, under the Hansen's Disease isolation policy, the sanatorium budget was not sufficient and much labor was carried out by patients. The ancient tin prosthesis and plane with handles tell the history of the hardships of residents who have been responsible for Patient procedures and work in daily life while suffering from paralysis of sensory nerves and motor nerves.
After the arrival of occupational therapists and prosthetics and orthotists since the latter half of the 1950s, we pursued how to realize the life that the user wants to achieve while protecting the limbs that have lost perception and cannot move as expected. Has been done. The individuality of the tools has been sharpened according to the spread of the user's wishes, such as artificial legs made of various materials, spoons with colorful self-help tools, and self-help tools related to creating a purpose of life such as ceramic art and music activities. In this way, many tools suitable for designing each person's life were made and shaped the life of the user.
From the appearance of people who use these tools, we can see the will to not deprive them of the small freedoms around them, even if they live in a limited space. In this exhibition, we will tell you about its appearance through a number of self-help tools, artificial limbs, and prosthetic devices, as well as images, photographs, and stories of their users. We hope that you will deepen your understanding of the Issues related to leprosy and increase your interest in the steps that people living with disabilities have pursued their potential.
