Physical Rehabilitation Patterns and Clinical Categorization in a Japanese Psychiatric Hospital: A Retrospective Content Analysis
2026
Overview
The rising prevalence of physical comorbidities among patients with mental illness has increased the relevance of physical rehabilitation within psychiatric care. However, specific physical rehabilitation practices in specialized psychiatric hospitals in Japan remain insufficiently documented. This exploratory and descriptive study aimed to characterize the rehabilitation content provided and to categorize patient characteristics and comorbidities in a single specialized psychiatric hospital using an expert-led consensus approach. Clinical data from 150 patients (median age 71.0 years) who received physical rehabilitation were retrospectively analyzed. Patient categorization was conducted through a multidisciplinary consensus-building process involving an expert panel of physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, and nurses, each with over 10 years of clinical experience. Using a hierarchical rule set based on International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes and clinical referral data, five distinct categories were identified: Disuse Syndrome (41%), Neurologic Disorders (20%), Lower Limb Lesions (18%), Parkinson’s Syndrome (15%), and Upper Limb Lesions (6%). Across all categories, rehabilitation interventions focused on foundational motor therapies, such as range of motion (27%) and strength training (23%). Mobility-oriented interventions were selectively provided to patients with high bedridden status based on clinical potential. Overall, practices in this setting primarily targeted disuse syndrome and maintenance of basic motor function and were delivered with input from multiple professional disciplines; such practices may inform future research on structured multidisciplinary rehabilitative approaches, especially for aging psychiatric populations.
