In Japan, the shortage of personnel is a problem in long-term care nursing\nand rehabilitative care prevention. Nevertheless, Japan has taken measures to\ncompensate for these shortages by promoting medical and nursing care activities\nusing robotic technologies, and employing human resources from overseas.\nThe purpose of this study was to determine potential legal issues and\nsubsequent implications for care during prevention gymnastic exercises for\nthe elderly using Pepper in long-term health facilities. The application program\nof Care-Prevention Gymnastics Exercises for Pepper (Pepper with\nCPGE) was made by the Xing Company Japan. Currently, care workers become\nintermediaries for the safe use of Pepper with CPGE. However, it was\nrealized that some legal issues may arise if Pepper with CPGE alone will carry\nout these preventive care programs for the elderly without the presence of\ncare workers as intermediaries. In this situation, using Pepper with CPGE\nalone to conduct care prevention gymnastics will require safety measures to\nprevent these possible practice issues and anticipate implications for care. In\nthis regard, determining detailed target levels of rehabilitation exercise demands\nand environmental setting safety become essential factors. The use of\nhumanoid robots in healthcare is expected to influence more practice protocols\nin contemporary and futurist rehabilitative human care. The identification\nof possible safety issues in performance and environmental situations,\nand implications for care are critical to ensure safe and valuable rehabilitative\nhealth care practices for the elderly population.
