[Stay at Work - Feasibility and Acceptance of a Part-Time Medical Rehabilitation].

Purpose: Back pain is associated with significant impairments of participation, which should be prevented by medical rehabilitation programs. The existing evidence shows that the German rehabilitation model is not effective for all target groups. In addition to intensified measures for patients with a high risk of failed return to work, a less intense rehabilitation form could be useful for patients with moderate disabilities.
