Functional Assessments
Prevent Injuries with Professional Functional Assessments
CAS Functional Assessments are completed by registered and trained functional assessors and are scientifically designed to determine a person’s level of function and ability to perform functional or work related tasks on a safe and dependable basis.
CAS functional assessments determine a persons functional capacity by collecting data obtained during the assessment and any other data provided at the time of the referral. Data is analysed in order to establish the worker’s current level of function in regards to their ability to perform a variety of job tasks.
What is Analysed With A Functional Assessment?
The goal of a functional assessment is to uncover and analyse an individuals ability to perform tasks. To do this an overview of the individuals capabilities across all areas must be produced. Compensation Assistance Services does this through interview and anaylsis of relevant data to generate an accurate image of the abilities a person has in all areas. The assessment comprises of: an examination of clinical pathology, identification of client behaviors that impact physical performance, objective musculoskeletal, neuromuscular and biomechanical testing, functional testing, and an assessment of effort.
Functional Assessments Shape Your Employment Process
Functional Assessments are typically done as part of the screening process for a role or after an employee sustains an injury which may impact their ability to work.
