From the Paper:

"Disability management, according to Henry Harder, is a relatively new field defined as an active process of minimizing the impact of impairment on the individual's capacity to participate competitively in the work environment. Central to this field is the concept of early intervention and a focus on psychosocial issues known to occur in tandem with physical injuries. Consequently, professionals working in the field must acquire a thorough understanding of various injuries and illnesses leading to disability as well as the specific interventions."
