Universal

The therapists at TxOH provide a universal functional capacity evaluation service. Our therapists can introduce an employment protocol whereby possible employees are required to undertake appropriate occupational test before being deemed fit for employment within an organisation. The pre-employment test can be devised with the demands of your organisation in mind to make it valid and reliable. Functional capacity evaluations can include physical, emotional and mental health elements. The exact makeup of a functional capacity evaluation will depend on your organisation needs. A universal functional capacity evaluations service can also be used to introduce screening methods upon employee's return to work following a period of absence.

Specific

Specific functional capacity evaluations can be tailored to reflect certain roles or occupations and can focus on the evaluation of an individual's physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. The results from a functional capacity evaluation can be used to highlight an individual's ability to endure both the physical and psychological demands within your organisation.
