The Campaign

A new type of rehabilitation to improve throat function was needed to prevent choking death of elderly. It must be fun, effective, and simple so that everybody including people sitting in a wheel chair can participate. We developed a fun method of rehabilitation "TON-TON VOICE SUMO" in cooperation with occupational therapists.

Creative Execution

We first launched "TON-TON VOICE SUMO" on 27/1/2016, at generic health services facility HITORIZAWA. On this day, about 20 people enjoyed the rehabilitation. Second implementation was on 29/2/2016 at the same place, and at this time more than 60 people played, including not only elderly but the staffs who work at the facility. Kounandai Hospital and Heart-warm Clinic are scheduled for the next implementation.

Elderly were engrossed by this method, and shouted "TON-TON" many times. Occupational therapists were impressed by this success. It also contributed to increased communication across the entire care facility. "TON-TON VOICE SUMO" has been highly acclaimed by numerous media outlets including Japan's major TV shows, and many hospitals and clinics are currently making plans for its implementation.

The sumo ring vibrates with the players' voice as they say "TON-TON", meaning "Go! Go!"which then moves the sumo wrestlers in this mechanism. To maximize elderly's interest, we chose the most popular sport for them, Sumo wrestling, as a base of this rehabilitation.
