Work Hardening Program

Work Hardening is a highly structured, goal oriented, individualized treatment program designed to maximize the individual’s ability to return to work. Work hardening programs, which are interdisciplinary in nature, use real or simulated work activities in conjunction with conditioning tasks that are graded to progressively improve the biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/metabolic and psychosocial functions of the individual. Work hardening provides a transition between acute care and return to work while addressing the issues of productivity, safety, physical tolerances, and worker behaviors.

Our work hardening program is customized to the patient’s specific needs. A written plan that identifies observable and measurable goals along with the projected necessary time to complete the goals and expected outcomes is established The plan is based on a functional capacity evaluation(baseline) and compared with the critical demands identified in the job analysis.

The Work Hardening Program is daily (five times per week) and typically lasts two-five hours per day. Progressive job simulation tasks and conditioning activities are performed. A discharge summary/comparative analysis is done prior to discharge to determine job readiness.

Treatment termination upon goal completion, inadequate progress, non-compliance, insufficient cooperation or the injured worker declines further participation.
