ABSTRACT

It is one objective of German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) to restore the health and performance of insured persons after an accident "using all appropriate methods". Because of the legal requirements, possible rehabilitation may greatly differ from that provided by sickness or pension insurance. This article provides an overview of the available treatments after accidents at work and the rehabilitation phase in which they may be used.
