General Incorporated Association Synchro Plus Press release: January 25, 2025 [Recruiting participants] It’s okay if you can’t walk! Enjoy the world natural heritage on COGY ride (Amami Oshima) ~Limited to 1 group per day. Applications are being accepted until Thursday, February 20, 2025. Please contact us as soon as possible Synchroplus General Incorporated Association (Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Representative Director: Hideki Tomono) has been selected for the “Connecting Future Amami Tourism x Environment” Promotion Project (Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture). We will implement a universal tourism experience program where you can enjoy sightseeing with your family and friends. By utilizing COGY, the next generation of mobility for seniors and people with disabilities, it is characterized by the ability to experience the “joy of moving on your own” while significantly reducing the burden of transportation. This program is recommended for those who are worried about their physical strength or the condition of their legs and hips and are planning a trip. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the rich nature and culture of Amami Oshima, which has a somewhat nostalgic feel and is also known as the “Galapagos of the East”, with your family and friends. *Sometimes recommended for: People who like traveling but are starting to feel anxious about walking If you have a stroke, hemiplegia, Parkinson’s, etc., please contact us! What is
health-promoting mobility “COGY”? A wheelchair that can be moved with your feet like a bicycle. Even if you have difficulty walking, if you can move one of your legs even a little, your walking center will be stimulated, and you may be able to use your reflexes to pedal with both feet and move forward. “Normally, when a person walks, signals from the brain move the legs via the spinal cord. However, for people with lameness, commands from the brain are not properly transmitted to the legs. It is thought that the reason why a person’s legs move is not a command from the brain, but rather a reflex command to move the right leg and then the left foot, which comes from the “primitive walking center” in the spinal cord. In other words, if one leg moves even slightly, the other paralyzed leg will move as a result of a reflex command. We call this neuromodulation.” (Dr. Yasunobu Handa, Professor Emeritus, Tohoku University) Up until now, COGY rides have been enjoyed by people who find it difficult to walk for long periods of time, or who have hemiplegia due to the after-effects of a cerebral infarction. If you are interested, please contact us. COGY ride participants In October 2024, Teruko, an 86-year-old woman from Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, who has difficulty walking independently, and her female friends in their 70s and 60s Let’s enjoy Amami Oshima together. “I’ve always wanted to go to Amami Oshima. But if I hadn’t met COGY, this trip would never have been possible. Thanks to COGY, my dream came true!”

unforgettable memory with a friend.When he was in his mid-50s, I learned that my friend had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was undergoing rehabilitation. When I heard the story, he didn’t show any interest, but somehow he met COGY and started going out with me, eventually coming to Amami Oshima to meet me. When he came to Amami Oshima, he cried while looking at the sea. I was moved to tears because I never thought I would be able to travel like this again. The tears he saw that day are the origin of this project. You don’t have to give up. Even when you get old or your body becomes infirm, you can still live your life the way you want. Please experience the feeling of blowing the wind on your cheeks in the midst of nature.” (General Incorporated Association Synchroplus Hideki Tomono) Book: “Savior of preventive care!
