Purpose: Investigating using medicines in rehabilitation patient to understand risks predicted from the effects of those drugs to promote safe rehabilitation. Subjects & Methods: 1039 patients (age mean 75.6±16.91), 392 males (74.05±17.49) and 647 females (76.54±16.60), who receive PT, OT and ST at four medical institutions. The survey items included age, sex, prescribed medications, presence or absence of medication logbook and medical record. The drugs collected in the questionnaire were classified according to the general table of contents of pharmacotherapy specialized book in Japan. Results: 6477 prescription drugs (62 types) for 1039 patients. About 6.23 drugs were prescribed per patient. In order of appearance, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (742), Peptic ulcer treatment (740), Antihypertensive drugs (699), Laxatives (451), Antipsychotics, Antidepressants, Mood stabilizers and Psychostimulants (423), Infusions and nutritional products (365), Anti-anxiety drugs and Sleeping pills (282). Conculsion: One-third of the patients who participated in this study are at increased risk of falls due to the effects of the drug. Also, the risk of falls increases as the number of drugs increases. Taking more than 5 medications increases the risk of falls from 1.1 to 2.4. The study found that they were taking an average of 6.23 medications and were at high risk of falling. Importantly, PT, OT & ST are not pharmacological experts. We propose that therapists make efforts to understand how prescribed medications affect patients for rehabilitation safety.
