What this Trial Is About
This research aims to understand a new rehabilitation approach in Austria focused on work-specific exercises tailored to patients' job-related needs, particularly for those with musculoskeletal diseases or conditions. Two groups are observed: one starting a three-week work-specific rehabilitation immediately upon arrival, and another first completing a three-week medical-focused rehabilitation before a four-week work-specific program. The study is observational and sponsored by Pensionsversicherungsanstalt. Participants receive multimodal rehabilitation based on the biopsychosocial WHO ICF model, with individualized therapy plans addressing physical and psychological conditions. The two groups undergo different rehabilitation sequences: one with immediate work-specific rehabilitation and the other with initial medical-focused rehabilitation followed by work-specific training. Both programs last three to four weeks in an inpatient setting. During inpatient rehabilitation, participants complete questionnaires at the start and end of their stay. Follow-up assessments occur six and twelve months after rehabilitation to monitor changes in work ability, employment history, health status, and quality of life. Researchers measure outcomes such as the IMBA profile comparison, Work Ability Index, Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level. The total study duration includes rehabilitation and long-term follow-up.
