Work-oriented inpatient rehabilitation

Targeted and systematic therapeutic measures are used to help patients achieve their goal following an absence from work due to injury or illness, enabling them to either successfully return to their previous role or start a new job.
The range of inpatient services is focused on patients whose imminent resumption of work has been delayed or has not been as successful as desired for medical reasons, due to complex pain problems and various psychosocial stress factors.

Our work-orientated rehabilitation programme begins with a medical, problem and occupational assessment: Are the patient's health and level of resilience sufficient for them to return to their former job? Or should the patient focus their attention on a new career? Are medical/diagnostic measures still required?
Here the path to success involves following target-oriented, patient-specific, doctor-led, multimodal and work-oriented rehabilitation programme with medical exercise training and work simulation training. This includes physiotherapy and occupational therapy, sometimes individually and sometimes in groups. If necessary, the treatment is supplemented with psychological/psychiatric support, occupational, social and medical insurance advice and clarification of career prospects.

The inpatient rehabilitation programme ends with an evaluation of working capacity based on medical/diagnostic findings as well as functional capacity tests. This focuses both on the patient's former occupational activities and on establishing an acceptable physical exertion profile for a new activity in the general job market.
