The Final Phase of Rehabilitation: Work Hardening
Orthopaedic Nursing, 1993In addition to an individual's academic or educational preparation for a specific job or vocation, the importance of physical readiness has been recognized in the past decade. Physical readiness is particularly needed for individuals injured on the job.

Work-hardening in superlattices
Acta Metallurgica, 1969Abstract The work-hardening in superlattices is critically analyzed based on experimental observations in single crystals of Cu 3 Au and Ni 3 Fe (L1 2 structure). The most important consequences resulting from the existence of superdislocations are the formation of relatively strong recombinations of moving dislocations with attractive “trees” and ...

Work Hardening: Evidence for Success of a Program
Psychological Reports, 1995The effectiveness of a work hardening program in facilitating gains in physical strength and return to work in 40 chronic low back-pain clients was assessed. Statistically significant gains in physical strength were found. Also, 27 of the 32 clients reached by follow-up telephone calls returned to work full time.

Plastic work in the peeling of work hardening foils
Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology, 1997The plastic work consumed by the flexible metallic foil during a peel test can contribute significantly to the measured load. It is thus important to be able to quantify it in order be able to make inferences about the adhesion at the interface. Several models have been previously proposed which allow the calculation of the plastic work, based on the ...

“Work-Hardenable” Ductile Bulk Metallic Glass
Physical Review Letters, 2005Usually, monolithic bulk metallic glasses undergo inhomogeneous plastic deformation and exhibit poor ductility (< 1%) at room temperature. We present a new class of bulk metallic glass, which exhibits high strength of up to 2265 MPa together with extensive "work hardening" and large ductility of 18%. Significant increase in the flow stress was observed

American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1994
Objectives. A review of outcome research conducted between 1982 and 1992 revealed return-to-work rates for industrial rehabilitation programs that ranged from 50% to 88%. Variations in outcome statistics appeared to reflect discrepancies in factors such as type of research design, initial characteristics of the ...

Outcome Analysis of Work-Hardening Programs
American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1993The competitive marketplace and the demand for accountability by health care payers are strongly influencing the need for work hardening programs to participate in program evaluation and produce outcome data. This study compiled program performance data on 22 work programs in Wisconsin over an 11-month period.

Work rehabilitation programs: work hardening and work conditioning
2006According to the American Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), work hardening (WH) is “a highly structured, goal-oriented, individualised treatment program designed to maximise the ability to return to work, addressing the issues of productivity, safety, physical tolerances, and work behaviours” [1].

Work Hardening: A Mandate for Hand Therapy
Hand Clinics, 1991Conditioning for return to work has become an integral part of the comprehensive hand rehabilitation program. Through experience and the development of guidelines, the practice of work hardening has matured. Skillful evaluation of the injured worker has enhanced the efficacy of work hardening programs.

1992
Following Drucker (1951,1959), we introduce the concept of stability of deformation processes. We use the so-called quasi-cycle for stresses, e.g. a process in which the stress after loading and unloading returns to its initial state, but the strain state in general does not (through irreversibility of plastic processes). Fig. 8.1 shows the quasi-cycle
