The aging of the active population is more and more increasing in advanced western societies. This phenomenon also implies a constant increase in the average age of workers in various productive sectors, not least that of health. In this, in fact, alongside the known occupational risks, more and more frequently we are witnessing the emergence of chronic-degenerative pathologies connected with aging, even with symptoms that do not determine an unsuitability for work. In fact, within a scientific landscape accounting little evidence on the effectiveness of complex rehabilitation programs, the use of the ICD / ICF system in therapeutic programming should produce an important turning point, providing health professionals with a conceptual paradigm that supports both the functional assessment and the rational planning of therapeutic interventions, also contributing to the advancement of specialist knowledge.
The present work shows how an effective collaboration between occupational physicians and rehabilitation specialists can
G Ital Med Lav Erg 2019; 41:2 effectively participate in the evaluation of the patient / worker even in the elderly, with particular regard to the return to work, taking full advantage of the classification and diagnostic tools implemented in the ICD and ICF systems.
