Job Site Analysis / Job Description
This consists of visiting job sites to perform hands-on evaluations of
physical requirements of employees. This would include photos of the
employee performing each job task and physically measuring / weighing objects
used in the performance of tasks. The information is then used to make
recommendations that could alleviate injuries including back and CTD, in
addition to defining the essential functions of the job. The ADA
recommends that a job site assessment be done. It is extremely important
to justify worker selection criteria. |

Post Offer Testing
40% of all workers compensation costs are related to direct medical expenses,
and 60% go towards disability settlements, legal payments, and administrative
costs including higher premiums. Many companies now require post offer
testing. The objective is to:
- Determine employee's ability to perform specific job tasks
- Identify cumulative trauma syndromes or disease processes
- Establish baseline data on hiring so as to qualify extent of legitimate
injuries

job functions

Work Conditioning & Work Hardening
The Work Conditioning and Work Hardening objective is to re-condition the
worker back into the workforce without re-injury. Many patients have been
out of work for months and lack the cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal
conditioning to be able to safely perform their given job functions. Work
simulated exercise programs are individually designed to reinforce the
employee's self-confidence, teach proper body mechanics and recondition the body
for duty fitness.

Functional Capacity Evaluation
The FCE is an evaluation tool that measures a patient's functional level.
It may be used post-injury to monitor an injured worker's progress or determine
level of impairment. Our FCE also indicated is
consistent and determines whether the patient is putting forth maximal effort or
purposely withholding capability, allowing us to set realistic recommendations
of transition back to work, job coaching, or possible consideration of a new
job. The FCE is automated and includes criteria to evaluate symptom
magnification, inappropriate behavior and if the tests are valid.
