Vocational rehabilitation

IMBA - Integration of People with Disabilities into Work - is a profile comparison procedure in vocational rehabilitation for comparing the requirements of a workplace with a person's abilities. The procedure was developed by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, psychologists and occupational scientists. The assessment procedure is suitable for use in outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation facilities or in companies, for example for the implementation of company integration management (BEM) or for risk assessment in occupational health and safety.

Work requirements and human abilities can be described and compared using defined characteristics. The resulting need for action can be used to derive specific measures for the design of work and the promotion of skills. IMBA serves as a quality assurance tool in occupational therapy and activity-oriented medical rehabilitation.

MARIEplus is the new software for the computerized application of IMBA. MARIE stands for Matching Abilities and Requirements to Increase Evidence.

The individual characteristics are assigned to nine characteristic groups:

• Body posture (for example sitting)
• Body locomotion (for example walking)
• Body part movement (for example arm movements)
• Information (for example seeing)
• Complex characteristics (for example lifting)
• Environmental influences (for example noise)
• Occupational safety (for example accident risk)
• Work organization (for example shift work)
• Key qualifications (for example teamwork)
