I went to Myanmar three times as a short-term expert of physiotherapy. I carried out evaluation training for physio staffs in national Yenanthar leprosy hospital. They learned how to evaluate activity of daily living. And they were able to make modified spoons and the canes. Later, they looked for the contents to evaluate by themselves. And they evaluated and decided by themselves what they should do. They felt the necessity for toilet chairs, modified beds and etc. They formed the plan and manufactured them. They were able to perform by themselves. It is thought that evaluation was fixed to staffs. This knowledge will surely be helpful to patients. I expect that this knowledge will be put to evaluations and exercises of many diseases. The physio staffs of this hospital will surely perform. Cooperation of the shoemaker and nursing staffs is very secure. I hope that it may become the model of saying [working in cooperation with other occupational descriptions] from now on.</p>  a1342-3681
