<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, Ishikawa Prefectural Nursing University held Session 1 of the FY2026 Recurrent Education Program, \u201cLearning the Basics and Practice of Sitting Posture Adjustment for Older Adult Nursing Care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcomed Shunsuke Jinno, a physical therapist from the General Incorporated Association Ordinary Life, as the guest lecturer. Through lectures and hands-on practice, participants learned about the characteristics and appropriate use of various types of wheelchairs, as well as postural adjustment through seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program focused on common postural problems experienced by older adults when sitting in wheelchairs. Participants learned why sitting posture can become unstable or misaligned, considering factors such as individual physical characteristics and the fit between the person and the wheelchair. By actually sitting in wheelchairs and experiencing the differences between poorly aligned and appropriately adjusted postures, participants gained practical insight into what constitutes good sitting posture and how it can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting an appropriate wheelchair and adjusting sitting posture with cushions and other supportive devices can help older adults live more comfortably while also contributing to the prevention of secondary health problems such as pressure injuries and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program provided a valuable opportunity to recognize that \u201cadjusting posture\u201d is not simply about improving appearance. Rather, it is an important aspect of care that supports each person\u2019s comfort, activity, and daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that the knowledge and skills gained through this program will be applied in everyday nursing care and support for older adults, helping each individual live in a way that reflects who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Kanno for his informative and engaging instruction, and to everyone who participated in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
