About
Naohisa Kusakabe is a leading researcher in urological physiotherapy, with a primary focus on pelvic floor rehabilitation and post-prostatectomy continence recovery. His most cited work, a 2024 randomised controlled trial with 11 citations, rigorously evaluates the effectiveness of pre- and postoperative supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP). This study is notable for its single-blind design and direct assessment of both continence outcomes and pelvic floor muscle function, addressing a critical gap in post-surgical care. Kusakabe’s contributions provide evidence-based protocols that help men regain urinary control and quality of life after prostate cancer surgery. By demonstrating that structured physiotherapy can significantly improve recovery trajectories, his research has influenced clinical guidelines and rehabilitation practices in urology. His work stands out for its practical, patient-centred approach, bridging the gap between surgical outcomes and functional rehabilitation. Kusakabe continues to advance the field of pelvic health physiotherapy, with his findings shaping how clinicians integrate prehabilitation and postoperative care for prostatectomy patients.
