[An Austrian model of rehabilitation after severe traumata (author's transl)]. 1979

W Krösl

After a short survey of the Austrian Social Insurance System, provisions for the rehabilitation of accident victims as carried in Austria are briefly described. This description includes the medical and social aspects as well as the coordinated function of both components of rehabilitation. The question of prosthetic appliances as well as rehabilitation and special care for paraplegics is also dealt with. Future developments such as day-centres for rehabilitation and a possible departure from the causeoriented principle in legal accident-insurance are also briefly outlined in prospective.
