Pre & Post Offer Employment Testing

WorkSTEPS, Inc.ies 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. In addition, when necessary companies can even utilize isokinetic-computerized testing equipment to help discern the applicant's strength, range of motion, and endurance. With post-offer testing of this nature, it is possible to collect over 30 pieces of objective information related to the applicant's status prior to his employment.

In addition to post-offer testing, some companies have utilized post-employment/fit for duty tests. This service allows objective data to be collected to:

•Determine an employee's ability to continue to perform his/her job tasks safely
•Identify cumulative trauma syndromes or disease processes which increase in incidence with aging
