Are You Fit for Duty After Recovering From Covid?
Have you recently recovered from covid and deciding whether or not it’s time to return to work? If so, our Fit for Duty program Trilogy Physical Therapy can help you determine if it is the right time.
As stated by ErgoScience, “Return to work programs, designed to facilitate speedy returns to productivity for employees after workplace injuries, are quickly becoming the standard in American companies.”
Before an employee returns to work following an injury, illness, surgery, or extended absence, you want to assess their ability to return to their old position and safely perform the essential functions of their job. WorkSTEPS functional return-to-work Fit for Duty testing is scientific and objective, and focuses only on the injured part(s) of the body used in essential job-specific tasks.
If you are unsure about your abilities to return back to your normal daily demands, a Fit for Duty program can help you figure out what may be holding you back, and will help get you back on the right track to returning to your job.
To learn more about our Fit for Duty programs and how they can benefit you, contact any of our physical therapy offices in Amherst, Williamsville, Grand Island, Kenmore, West Seneca or North Tonawanda, NY today!
What can I gain from a Fit for Duty program?
Outcomes from WorkSTEPS Fit for Duty evaluations will help determine next steps, which may include the employee returning to their job, returning to a different job temporarily, and/or undergoing additional rehabilitation.
Fit for Duty testing can:
- Decrease work related injuries that can occur when an employee returns to a job before they’re physically capable of performing its essential functions
- Decrease accident rates
- Lower workers’ compensation costs
- Decrease disruption to production when skilled workers become disabled due to re-injury
Our Fit for Duty evaluations can be used as a stand-alone service or paired with WorkSTEPS Post-Offer Functional Employment Testing to compare baseline data with data collected during the Fit for Duty evaluation so we can help you more effectively manage your or your employee’s recovery.
Additionally, our Fit for Duty evaluations can be combined with our Transitional Duty Programs and WorkSTEPS DataHUB™ so we can more comprehensively work with you to manage your or your employees’ recovery and return.
