Abstract
The effectiveness of a work hardening program in facilitating gains in physical strength and return to work in 40 chronic low back-pain clie nts 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.
