Recovery Partners deliver a more effective service to clients by aligning our biomechanical experts to assessment regimes specific to organisational contexts. We offer additional benefits via direct cost savings by reducing medical practitioner engagements, shorter service timeframes, and greater flexibility in assessment and reporting requirements.

What’s Involved:

Our Assessors take each candidate through a set regime of activities to enable an ability to clearly quantify the capacity to safely perform the known job demands. Any markers of concern or inability to perform a task will be readily noted by the assessor, and subsequent tasks will then be undertaken.

Each assessment will incorporate the following items:

• Medical Questionnaire Review
• General Medical: Blood Pressure / Heart Rate / Weight / Height / BMI
• Musculoskeletal Range Of Motion
• Anatomical Joint Integrity
• Lumbar Neural signs
• Strength and Balance
• Abdominal strength, back flexibility, hamstring length
• Postural Tolerances
• Lifting (waist, floor, shoulder height, unilateral lifting)
• Push / Pull tolerances
• Grip Strength

More advanced assessments can include:

• Standardised Vision, Audiometry & Spirometry Evaluations
