Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this observational study is to gain insight into a new approach to rehabilitation in Austria, with a particular focus on work-specific exercises that are dependent on the specific work-related needs of the patients. Two groups are being observed: one was referred to a three-week work-specific rehabilitation programme immediately upon arrival at the rehabilitation centre, while the other group underwent a three-week medical-focused rehabilitation programme before starting a four-week work-specific rehabilitation programme.
Researchers will monitor for indications of improvement following completion of the rehabilitation program. As the two forms of rehabilitation are not directly comparable, they will be observed and analysed as two distinct entities.
As part of their regular inpatient rehabilitation, participants will complete questionnaires at designated intervals (beginning and end of stay), with follow-up assessments scheduled at six and 12 months post-rehabilitation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
IMBA - Profile comparison
Time Frame: 3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation
IMBA is a profile comparison method for prevention and rehabilitation. Job requirements and human capabilities are described by standardised, defined characteristics and compared directly with each other. The respective profile sheets consist, among other things, of 70 function-, activity- and context-related main characteristics in which the extent of excessive demands for each characteristic is documented on a scale of 0 - 6 (Min. = 0, Max = 420). Lower values indicate less excessive demands.
Employment history
Time Frame: 6 and 12 months after finishing rehabilitation
The existence of gainful employment subject to social insurance contributions in a specific period allows conclusions to be drawn about the employment history of the rehabilitants.
Secondary Outcomes
- Work ability index (WAI)(3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation + 6 and 12 months after finishing rehabilitation)
- Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4)(3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation + 6 and 12 months after finishing rehabilitation)
- European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)(3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation + 6 and 12 months after finishing rehabilitation)
