a two-day assessment of your physical capabilities and your work-related capacities. Evaluations are customized based on your specific return-to-work guidelines and may include:

  • job-specific testing
  • fit-for-duty evaluation
  • upper extremity testing.

Results are summarized and recommendations given.

Physical performance testing

This two-hour assessment helps define whether you can return to work and at what capacity. Referrals are often from health care providers seeking input related to disability benefit eligibility. A formal report (R-33) based on testing results and recommendations is sent to the referring provider for signature.

Pre-placement screening

Job-simulated, objective measurements help determine a prospective employee’s physical abilities. These evaluations identify job-related essential criteria for safe, appropriate and effective job placement. Results are sent to the employer.

Work conditioning

Injured workers can return to work quickly and safely by progressing in a supervised program of work conditioning that includes:

  • simulated job activities with body mechanics
  • instruction
  • aerobic conditioning
  • flexibility
  • strengthening exercises.

Hours and days are depend on your conditioning needs and return-to-work goals. Staff members are available to meet for ongoing progress reports. Physical capacities forms and recommendations are provided upon completion.

Our industrial rehabilitation specialist will identify and quantify physical demands, environmental concerns and essential job functions in an extensive report.

Solutions for preventing future injuries as well as suggestions for ergonomic equipment and modifications to employee workstations will be provided.
