ABSTRACT

Background The topic of workplace rehabilitation is of interest and importance for society as a whole, and - in particular - for the present and future work­ force. Accordingly, rehabilitation is about much more than regaining the ability to work and getting results. Work is linked to social and workrelated networks. It gives each of us dignity and identity as a unique individual and as a member of a group. Work is important for fulfilling ourselves and for safeguarding our families.
