Abstract
Increase in aged population and changes in disease patterns lead to the focus of modern
health services switch health promotion. More and more people in Taiwan emphasize on their
health promotion and quality of life. It has been popular currently in Taiwan society to employ
non-chemical and non-surgical approaches in promotion of people’s health, such as spa
hydrotherapy, ball exercises, weight-control shoes, and corrective shoes. The controversy in
examination of their efficacy or effectiveness spread in public, confusing people in Taiwan.
The School of Physical Therapy, National Taiwan University, therefore, established “The Digital
Museum of Physical Therapy” in 2001 and offered evidence-based, integrated, and interactive
physical therapy information from the academic point of view. This digital museum enables the
people in Taiwan to easily assess knowledge of physical therapy through the internet.
The purpose of this-year project was to establish “digital museum of physical agents” that is
part of digital museum of physical therapy. In the digital museum of physical therapy, three
major sessions were finished: a) continuing collection of non-medical-used, commercialized
physical agents that are widely used in Taiwan, b) establishment of foot anthropometry database,
and c) completion of the child-version home pages in the digital museum of physical therapy.
The characteristics of this digital museum are
1. the first digital museum of physical agents in the world
2. home pages expressed using databank and related searching system
3. the first databank of foot anthropometry collected through the internet
4. the child-version physical agents home pages
After the completion of this digital museum, it is expected that the general population
have a deeper understanding about the commercialized physical agents, and the public can gain
correct medical information through index searching on this web.
