work-related programs
6
SR provides therapy for a variety of work-related injuries. This program’s goal is to maximize clients’ functional status and return them to work as quickly as possible. We ensure consistent and timely communication with our physicians and case managers regarding each client’s status.
some of the services we provide are:
- Work conditioning
- Job-site / Ergonomic Analysis
- Functional Capacity Evaluation
- Impairment Rating Calculations
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a four-hour test that focuses on the injured worker’s physical body and its functional movements to determine maximum safe abilities and limitations. The patient is observed under various stresses, to assess strength, endurance, coordination, pace, efficiency of movement, and safety while performing physical activities. Real-life functional work activities are simulated.
- Subjective history examination
- A musculoskeletal evaluation
- Validity testing
- Material handling and nonmaterial handling testing
- Evaluation of worker endurance related to job requirements
- Psychometric testing
- Emphasis on safety during the evaluation, and at the work place
- A knowledgeable therapist who is in control of the evaluation
- Worker and employer education
- Focus on matching the worker’s abilities to the demands of the job.
- Clear written and verbal communication of evaluation results.
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) Rating Calculations are performed according to the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition 2001.
We recommend comfortable clothing with an elastic waistline, such as shorts, and sports bras for women. Jogging suits and shoes are also suitable.
