Save $30 for every $1 invested in functional testing!

Legally compliant functional testing that reduces work-related musculoskeletal disorders by an average of 50% in one year and 75% in three years!

Post Offer Testing

Only 40% of all back injury costs to businesses are related to medical expenses. The other 60% go to disability settlements, legal payments, and administrative costs. It is not surprising that many companies now require post-offer testing to detect employees who have pre-existing conditions and/or are unable to perform relevant job specific activities. A physical therapy post-offer test involves taking the applicant's history, looking at his/her posture, and observing test movements to evaluate flexibility and strength. The applicant is furthermore assessed for neurological signs, has palpation to determine specific musculoskeletal abnormalities, and has a functional evaluation involving lifting, job specific testing, and back dynamometer tests to compare that individual's results to normal individuals of his/her age and weight. With post-offer testing of this nature, it is possible to collect over 40 pieces of objective information related to the applicant's status prior to his employment.

WorkSTEPS is proud to play such a vital role in the simultaneous well being of the healthcare and industrial communities. Several companies have literally stayed in business by implementing our injury prevention programs and not one company has experienced unsatisfactory results. With the employer and the healthcare provider working together to control costs, success is inevitable.

Post-offer/post-employment testing can be very brief or extremely comprehensive, and charges are therefore commensurate with the amount of information accumulated. The comprehensive WorkSTEPS test includes objective measurements, musculoskeletal examination and computerized testing. WorkSTEPS is able to offer this test at a significantly reduced rate because of the unique packaging of the test, the volume of tests performed, and the sophistication of the software associated with the database. The cost to implement such a program is negated with the prevention of one carpal tunnel injury

 

Components of the WorkSTEPS Employment Test include:

Musculoskeletal evaluation including assessments of range of motion, strength, posture, and joint integrity. Cardiovascular status, including recovery condition, blood pressure, and heart rate. Static (isometric) and Dynamic (isotonic) strength evaluation of the back and extremities, with analysis for deficits and/or abnormalities, and with resultant comparative analysis to our database containing information from thousands of employees tested. Medical Clearance protocol for "over-use syndrome" (i.e. carpal tunnel syndrome). Job Specific or job simulation components (essential functions) includes instruction in proper body mechanics and lifting techniques.
