Objectives:
REFILAB is a novel occupational health project for the prevention and functional physical readaptation of workers in a company, following the model of intervention in sports injuries. The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of the REFILAB project on health-related physical fitness in a subject diagnosed with brain cancer and right hemiplegia. The clinical case involved a 46-year-old man who worked for a municipal service company in street cleaning and refuse collection. The patient was treated with the REFILAB programme for 4 months to combat the sequelae of his disease. After the 4-month intervention, the worker significantly improved his strength, flexibility, neuromotor and endurance values. The worker, who was diagnosed with right hemiplegia as a result of a glioblastoma in the left temporal area, was able to increase his independence in activities of daily living and basic instrumental activities.
