Abstract

Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of Aurora's Work Specialty Rehabilitation Program and provides evidence confirming that the program produces the intended results by helping injured workers RTW [return to work] and significantly increasing their strength as well. Lastly, it was found that strength levels upon discharge were not dependent on the number of days of work prior to entering the program.
