What Rehabilitation Services Does Workers’ Compensation Include?

MidJersey Orthopaedics recognizes that it is important to set employees up for success before returning to work after a workplace injury. Every worker is different, and the personal treatment plans our team develops vary depending on the severity of the injury, pre-existing conditions, field of work, and lifestyle factors. 

• Ergonomics Assessments: Ergonomics assessments determine the physical demands of an employee’s workplace and identify any risks.
• On-Site Training: On-site training is performed to ensure employees are able to meet the physical requirements of their workplace.
• Work Conditioning: Work conditioning restores musculoskeletal function that was affected by the employee’s injury such as strength, mobility, endurance, and daily demands. The extent of work conditioning that an individual needs varies and is dependent on what is needed to return to pre-injury functionality.
• Return to Work Plans: Return to work plans prepare employees for re-entering the workplace after injury by utilizing information such as job descriptions and required job functions. This information enables employees to simulate work demands prior to returning.
