The objective of this observational study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes of two different durations of a recently established work-specific rehabilitation programme in Austria. The programme focuses on exercises tailored to patients' individual vocational needs. Two patient groups are observed: one group completes a three-week work-specific rehabilitation programme, while the other group completes a four-week work-specific rehabilitation programme, allowing a direct comparison of their outcomes.

| IMBA - Profile comparison | IMBA is a profile comparison method for prevention and rehabilitation. Job requirements and human capabilities are described by standardised, defined characteristics and compared directly with each other. The respective profile sheets consist, among other things, of 70 function-, activity- and context-related main characteristics in which the extent of excessive demands for each characteristic is documented on a scale of 0 - 6 (Min. = 0, Max = 420). Lower values indicate less excessive demands. | 3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation |
| Employment history | The existence of gainful employment subject to social insurance contributions in a specific period allows conclusions to be drawn about the employment history of the rehabilitants. | 6 months after finishing rehabilitation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) | The EQ-5D-5L is a general instrument for measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs), which can be used to assess the quality of life of patients on different dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort) on a 5-level scale (Min. = 0, Max. = 5). Lower values indicate less impairments in the respective dimensions. Moreover, the EQ-5D-5L assesses the patient's self-rated health on a 100 point visual analog scale (Min. = 0, Max. = 100). Lower values indicate less positive ratings of health. | 3 or 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation |
