First of all, Keita Sato (Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.) who records in the 100 m 11 sec range appeared, and carefully explained that there are various types such as daily prosthesis, sports prosthesis, robot prosthesis and so on.
Sato：15I started getting into contact with prosthetic limbs from there because I broke my legs because of my sickness when I was old.
children: Is there anything inconvenient to put prosthetic legs on?
Sato: You can enjoy various sports such as basketball and volleyball. I do not feel much about being honest and it is hard for me to sit down.
And it was the professional tennis player Kei Nishikori who appeared in front of the children that there are people who want to take another class together in the middle of the lesson! A surprise voice and a great cheer sounded in the venue.
LIXILNishikori, also an official ambassador, greeted the children with a smile.
BrocadeHello, this is Kei Nishikori. Today I would like to enjoy the prosthesis experience with everyone.
There are quite a lot of things to see the prosthetic football team, and the prosthetic footballers who are taking medals to the Academy, Florida where I am, are also trained next to each other, so I feel very familiar.
Next, in the quiz about the prosthesis which was quoted from Sato, Nishiki players challenged with the children, and when they answered correctly, they shared a joy by doing high touch with the children.
Experience classes for wearing prosthetic legs for experiences are also held. While receiving guidance from Sato, Nishikori players extended their hands and had experienced walking.
Brocade: Everyone is good!
Lastly, Nishikoro player, Sato player and children made a universal run competing for a short distance. Sato showcased the speed of the highlight and finished first in the goal.
Brocade: It was a shock that lost the last(Lol)。
Everyone: Ahahahaha(Lol)。
About the impression of the class.
children: When I heard the content of today's lesson and the story from Sato, I thought that there was not much inconvenience even though I was wearing prosthetic legs.
Sato: I do not think familiarity with prosthetic foot, I think whether listening to today's lesson would have made a different way of thinking. I hope that you will continue to exchange more and more with different people and deepen your way of thinking.
Brocade: It is becoming a big challenge not only for Japan but also for the world to create a world where people are prosthetic legs and people who have difficulties in life live easily. I thought that it was a wonderful experience as I felt it through this lesson like this with a little even this way.
Finally, we all took a memorial photo with a smile.
Everyone: Niko Recil!
