Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation
This book presents the state of the art in the application and implementation of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the areas of vocational rehabilitation as a primary topic and disability evaluation as a secondary topic. Application of the ICF and implementation strategies toward a holistic and comprehensive approach to work disability and vocational rehabilitation programs are presented along with clinical cases and exercises. The ICF as a topic in health and disability has been gaining momentum since its approval by the World Health Assembly in 2001, and great progress has been made since then. However, the integration if the ICF in the realm of vocational rehabilitation has been lacking despite the fact that work and employment are a major area in people's lives, particularly those who have work disability. This book will advance the professional practice of vocational rehabilitation, rehabilitation counseling, occupational medicine, and allied health science.

Promoting Health for Computer Users in the Workplace
Workplace health promotion and well-being are essential for raising awareness about potential health risks, and helping workers avoid them in order to lead a more fulfilling life. The present book presents the health risks that computer users are prone to and possible measures for the mitigation of said risks. For example, the book outlines the effects of different spa treatments for relieving muscular tension, which can be a side effect of the sedentary nature of computer use in the workplace. In addition to physical inactivity, computer users also suffer from unhealthy eating habits. So, the book also outlines dietary and physical activity recommendations for people working with computers and suggests measures for employers to implement in the office. Working long hours on the computer leaves a mark on one’s mental health; the adverse effects are related to addictions or the infliction of stressful situations like cyberbullying. In recent years, online working or meeting environments have become popular, which has led to the emergence of Zoom fatigue. The current book provides suggestions for participating in online meetings more healthily.
