- Abstract
The Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) has been implementing a medical rehabilitation program as part of disability prevention since 1996. The purpose of medical rehabilitation is to improve the health condition of the insured in terms of regaining or maintaining the ability to work. Medical rehabilitation is carried out in those diseases that most often cause inability to work, and thus generate the greatest costs for the social insurance system. Currently, ZUS is referring to medical rehabilitation in: diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory system diseases, psychosomatic diseases, people after treatment of breast cancer, voice organ diseases, people who, during an accident, in particular an accident at work, suffered an injury to the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the central nervous system. Its role is limited to supplementing the therapeutic process with medical measures aimed at improving the body's efficiency, enabling the insured person or pensioner to return to employment. Hence, the subjective scope of its activities covers the insured at risk of total or partial incapacity for work and who are promising to start gainful employment as a result of its completion. The concept of incapacity for work means that a person who has lost the ability to work completely or partially due to a violation of the body's efficiency is incapable of work and does not expect to regain the ability to work after retraining. A person who has lost the ability to perform any work is completely incapable of work. A person partially incapable of work is a person who has largely lost the ability to work in accordance with the level of their qualifications.
