The objective measurement of individual work-related functional performance in the context of medical rehabilitation - First results of a case study with the ERGOS - Work Simulator

  • In the context with the high meaning of work for the human, the enormous job-specific demands on psychophysical performance and the need for a rapid return to working life in case of injury or disease, the importance of the diagnosis of occupational performance in therapy is high. Diagnostically and therapeutically challenging to workers are mainly the biomechanical, the sensomotoric and psychosocial strain in the workplace. In case of illness with rehabilitative requirements should therefore medical therapy be dovetailed with work and work-related activities. That connection is a necessary development of rehabilitative care system in Germany, not least in view of the legal order of the German Pension Insurance to help injured patients and to support their return to work. In the work-related orientation of medical rehabilitation is the professional life of rehabilitation involved in all phases of therapy. The instruments for the diagnosis of occupational problems are both objectively and subjectively oriented Questionnaires withIn the context with the high meaning of work for the human, the enormous job-specific demands on psychophysical performance and the need for a rapid return to working life in case of injury or disease, the importance of the diagnosis of occupational performance in therapy is high.

In the work-related orientation of medical rehabilitation is the professional life of rehabilitation involved in all phases of therapy. The instruments for the diagnosis of occupational problems are both objectively and subjectively oriented Questionnaires with external and self-assessment, FCE systems (functional capacity evaluation) and medical documentation systems. The Ergos® Work Simulator is a psychophysical FCE system, which captures the individual motor skills in relation to the performance of job-specific requirement profiles. The evaluation of job performance is based on a profile pool of about 14,000 professional activities. The tests are standardized and analyze frequent physical aspects of the work (eg lifting, carrying) to ensure a realistic assessment.show moreshow less
