By: PESI, Inc

Course Description

From job-specific ergonomics to return-to-work screenings, rehab professionals often struggle with the complexities of getting clients back to work after low back and spinal injuries.

Without focused training, it’s challenging to select the appropriate outcome measures, apply clinical-practice guidelines, and design return-to-work programs that ensure lasting recovery. This often leads to delayed return to work timelines, re-injury, and diminished worker confidence.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to solve these problems with clear, easy and actionable assessment strategies. Learn the best practices for outcome measures, from disability questionnaires like the Oswestry and Quebec inventories to physical capacity tests and movement quality screenings.

You’ll gain expert insights on return-to-work programs designed to support faster, safer recoveries and keep workers on the job post-rehab.
