WORK CONDITIONING
 Work
Conditioning is a highly structured, goal oriented, individualized
treatment program designed to maximize the person's ability
to return to work. Work conditioning programs are multi-disciplinary
in nature with the capability of addressing the functional,
physical, behavioral and vocational needs of the person served.
Work conditioning provides a transition between the initial
injury management and return to work, while addressing the
issues of productivity, safety, physical tolerance, and work
behavior. Work conditioning programs use real or simulated
work conditions in a relevant work environment in conjunction
with physical conditioning tasks if necessary. The activities
are used to progressively improve bio-mechanical, neuromuscular,
cardiovascular-metabolic, behavioral, attitudinal, and vocational
functions of the person served.
