Lay Abstract
This study examined the possibility of injured workers returning to work following a rehabilitation programme. The results showed that approximately 65% of participants returned to work successfully, either with their former employer or with a new employer. Males, younger participants, those with upper- or lower-limb injuries, and those whose rehabilitation period was within 3 months had a better chance of returning to work.
