| Post-Offer Employment Testing |
 |
The least costly injury is the one that never occurs. Post-Offer Employment Testing focuses on determining whether an individual is physically capable of performing a specific job to minimize the risk of injury.
| Injury Prevention |
|
- Our programs educate employees and management to recognize musculoskeletal risks
- Identify ways to eliminate risk
- Awareness/Education to minimize accumulated physical stress of the job
| Ergonomic Programs |
|
Ergonomics is the relationship between people and the work environment. Ergonomic Programs focus on evaluating a specific work environment and job tasks for risk factors that could result in musculoskeletal dysfunction.
| Customized Return-to-Work |
|
Our Return-to-Work Programs are designed to provide job-related and injury-specific therapeutic interventions to create customized and cost effective approaches to the treatment of work related injuries.
| Work Hardening and Work Conditioning |
|
When injured workers meet established short- and long-term goals but are unable to return to work due to ongoing functional deficits or deconditioning, they may benefit from a higher level of therapeutic intervention designed specifically with a primary goal of returning to work.
Work Hardening
A highly structured, goal-oriented, individualized intervention program designed to return the employee to work. Our Work Hardening Programs are multidisciplinary in nature and utilize real or simulated work activities designed to restore physical, behavioral and vocational functions. Work Hardening addresses the issues of productivity, safety, physical tolerances and worker behaviors.
Work Conditioning
An intensive, goal-oriented conditioning program designed to restore neuromuscular and musculoskeletal function including strength, power, endurance, joint mobility, ROM, motor control, cardiovascular endurance and functional abilities. The primary objective of the Work Conditioning Program is to restore physical capacity and function to enable the injured worker to return to his or her pre-injury job.
| Functional Capacity Evaluation |
|
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) provides a comprehensive evaluation that measures strength, endurance, physical demand work level and positional tolerance. The data gathered through this evaluation objectively defines the injured employee’s physical capabilities.
