Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes of the Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale scores during rehabilitation

  Using the RRTW scale changes of the pretest and protest data to calculate the responsiveness.

  The participants do the pretest of RRTW scale in the first week in their work hardening program, finishing the protest in the last week before the program ends. The duration depends on people. (In an average of 4-6 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change from the Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale scores at 1 week

  The participants do the pretest of RRTW scale in the first week in their work hardening program, and they do the retest after one week.
