Industrial Rehabilitation Therapy
Providing evaluation, education, prevention, and treatment for injured workers or those individuals experiencing prolonged limitations. Our program includes specialized services for the treatment and prevention of work injuries.
Work Site Evaluation (WSE)
A physical therapist will make an on-site visit to work with an individual(s) to evaluate their workstations. The therapist will make recommendations and educate each person on ways to improve posture and specific work tasks and include a report with a summary of recommendations.
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
A comprehensive one or 2-day standardized test performed by a specially trained physical therapist to objectively measure a persons maximum safe, functional abilities and their ability to perform work-related tasks. Tests record a broad range of physical capabilities, including strength, flexibility, endurance, cardiovascular fitness, materials handling ability, coordination, static postures, and repetitive movements.
Injury Prevention Education (IPE)
A physical therapist works on-site with companies to provide various educational services from seminars on BackCare, Office Ergonomics, and Shoulder Care to injury consultation and on-site stretching programs.
Functional Job Analysis (FJA)
The FJA is a comprehensive, process of identifying and evaluating the physical demands of the work. Factors in developing an effective work injury prevention and management process involve analyzing the worker, the work, and the worksite. Employee input is essential to this process and leads to the credibility and validity of the Functional Job Description (FJD), written from the job information analyzed. Specially trained physical therapists work with employers to analyze jobs and write up detailed, functionally based job descriptions. Accurate FJD's are essential for a company to achieve ADA and EEOC compliance.
Pre-Work Screening (PWS)
A Pre-Work Screen tests the essential functions of a job based on the FJD. Employers can request a job applicant to take a PWS to determine safe physical and functional ability to perform specific situations. To meet ADA/EEOC compliance, the job applicant has received a "conditional offer" of employment from the employer before testing takes place. Functional testing may include lifting, force testing, push and pull, grip, postural tolerances, climbing, balance, and job simulation tasks. Physical therapists perform Pre-Work Screens.
Work Conditioning (WC)
A physical therapist works with an injured individual to evaluate and treat their work-related injury. Therapists with exposure and experience in various workplace settings offer a structured exercise progression and work simulated activities.
