Industrial Testing & Work Conditioning
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
Functional Capacity Evaluations are used for the following reasons:
- develop a treatment program
- measure specific physical abilities of patients before and after a rehabilitation program
- modify rehabilitation treatment
- evaluate whether an injured worker can work
- determine when an injured worker can return to work
- determine disability ratings
Our specially trained and certified clinicians reliably measure the functional physical ability of a person to perform a work-related series of tasks. This testing is designed to simulate the work environment.
Our clinicians are trained and certified to use both the BTE Technologies and the ErgoScience protocols.
Safe procedures are used to prevent any injuries during testing situations.
The FCE safely and objectively measures:
- repetitive lifting capacity at various levels
- repetitive push, pull, and carrying capacities
- hand grip strength
- tolerance for elevated work
- prolonged trunk flexion in sitting and standing
- prolonged trunk rotation in sitting and standing
- prolonged crawl, knee and sustained crouch positions
- repetitive squat
- tolerance for prolonged sitting and standing
- maximum walking, stairs and stepladder capacity
- balance
- hand coordination
Work Conditioning Program
Work conditioning is an intensive, goal-oriented treatment program specifically designed to restore an individual’s systematic, neurological, and musculoskeletal (strength, endurance, movement, flexibility, and motor control) function.
Our Work Conditioning Program will restore the client’s physical capacity and function to the extent that the client can return to work. The client receives periodic functional capacity as they progress.
Post Offer Employment Testing (POET)
We offer pre-hire, post-offer functional screen which reduce injuries by requiring job applicants to perform the specific, physical demands of their job.
Benfits employers – Valuable resources are wasted if employers hire and train new employees only to discover they do not have the physical ability to perform the job.
Benefits job candidates - Job Candidates are not placed in a job with physical expectations which
exceed their physical limitations resulting in injury.
Fast Reporting
All FCE and POET reports are sent to the referral source within 24 hours of testing.
