Where this comes from

Abstract

When we experience an injury or illness, it can affect our ability to work. Work rehabilitation helps people return to work after an illness or injury. When possible, work rehabilitation can also help people stay at work as they manage their illness or injury. To understand how physical therapists can best support people as they return to work, experts in work rehabilitation reviewed all the available research and discussed what the research means. These experts shared their findings and recommendations in "Clinical Guidance to Optimize Work Participation After Injury or Illness: The Role of Physical Therapists," published in <i>JOSPT</i> in August 2021. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(8):382. doi:10.2519/jospt.2021.0506</i>.
