“…In the European Union specifically, the number of people with disability who had employment was 22.3% less than those without disability [4]. The impact of work disability is evident not just at the person-level (lack of satisfaction, inability to cope, or loss of income) but is also its socioeconomic impact which may involve lost work productivity and increased healthcare expenses.…”

A Conceptual Definition of Vocational Rehabilitation Based on the ICF: Building a Shared Global Model

Background The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a conceptual framework and classification system by the World Health Organization (WHO) to understand functioning. The objective of this discussion paper is to offer a conceptual definition for vocational rehabilitation (VR) based on the ICF. Method We presented the ICF as a model for application in VR and the rationale for the integration of the ICF. We also briefly reviewed other work disability models. Results Five essential elements of foci were found towards a conceptual definition of VR: an engagement or re-engagement to work, along a work continuum, involved health conditions or events leading to work disability, patient-centered and evidence-based, and is multi-professional or multidisciplinary.Conclusions VR refers to a multi-professional approach that is provided to individuals of working age with health-related impairments, limitations, or restrictions with work functioning and whose primary aim is to optimize work participation. We propose that the ICF and VR interface be explored further using empirical and qualitative works and encouraging stakeholders' participation.

“…During each session, the physiotherapist recorded the following parameters: session duration (maximum: 20 min); the number of strides performed (clearly depending on session duration and WS e ); heart rate (HR) increment (HR = HR post -HR pre , where HR = HR increment, HR post = HR after the session, and HR pre = HR before the session); its percentage relative to maximum safe increment of cardiovascular rate (c = HR/(HR max -HR pre ) × 100, where c = percentage of maximum safe increment of cardiovascular rate and HR max = 190 -age [21]); and the FAC score of the patient.…”

Abstract-Electromechanically assisted gait training is a promising task-oriented approach for gait restoration, especially for people with subacute stroke. However, few guidelines are available for selecting the parameter values of the electromechanical Gait Trainer (GT) (Reha-Stim; Berlin, Germany) and none is tailored to a patient's motor capacity. We assessed 342 GT sessions performed by 20 people with stroke who were stratified by Functional Ambulatory Category. In the first GT session of all patients, the body-weight support (BWS) required was higher than that reported in the literature. In further sessions, we noted a slow reduction of BWS and a fast increment of walking speed for the most-affected patients. Inverse trends were observed for the less-affected patients. In all the patients, the heart rate increment was about 20 beats per minute, even for sessions in which the number of strides performed was up to 500. In addition, the effective BWS measured during GT sessions was different from that initially selected by the physiotherapist. This difference depended mainly on the position of the GT platforms during selection. Finally, harness acceleration in the anteroposterior direction proved to be higher in patients with stroke than in nondisabled subjects. Our findings are an initial step toward scientifically selecting parameters in electromechanically assisted gait training.

“…Employment is when individuals receive financial benefits from the work they have been doing (Kielhofner, 2009; McCausland et al, 2020). Employment enables individuals to acquire financial independence through the work they are doing, meet societal expectations, experience success and obtain self‐management skills (Gobelet & Franchignoni, 2006; Ross, 2007).…”

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a vocational rehabilitation group intervention on motivation and occupational self‐competence in individuals with intellectual disability. Methods A single‐blind, randomised controlled study design was used. The intervention group (IG) received the group‐based intervention alongside the individualised vocational rehabilitation (IVR) and the control group (CG) continued receiving only the IVR for 8 weeks. In order to assess motivation and occupational self‐competence, Objective Achievement Motivation Test (OLMT) and Occupational Self‐Assessment (OSA) were used. Results Forty‐nine individuals were enrolled to the study and randomised into IG (n = 24) and CG (n = 25). Two groups were similar at baseline in terms of demographic qualities, OLMT and OSA scores (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the IG showed significant improvements in all assessments (p < 0.05), however the CG showed improvements only in OLMT sub‐tests (p < 0.05). Conclusions The group‐based intervention program was effective in increasing occupational self‐competence and motivation.
