Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The job demands that may need to be considered include materials handling, such as lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling; sustained standing, sitting, or walking; and cardio-respiratory and muscular endurance. Finally, activities to simulate work activities may be included in the evaluation process to gain a better ability to predict work performance in context. This often takes the form of a functional capacity evaluation. A variety of commercially available systems provide functional capacity evaluations systems, including the Blankenship System Functional Capacity Evaluation, Ergo Science Physical Work Performance Evaluation, ERGOS Work Simulator, Isernhagen Functional Capacity Assessment, LIDO WorkSET Work Simulator, and Matheson Work Capacity Evaluation.
