Summary

This study looks at a new rehabilitation approach in Austria that adds work-specific exercises to standard medical rehab for people with musculoskeletal conditions like back pain. Researchers will follow two groups: one that gets a three-week work-focused program right away, and another that first has a three-week medical rehab before a four-week work-focused program. Participants fill out questionnaires at the start and end of their stay, and again at six and 12 months after, to see if their ability to work improves.
