Avella Kinesiology provides kinesiology services including ergonomic assessments and functional capacity evaluations (FCEs) for workers. We empower individuals and organizations to make informed decisions by delivering accurate FCEs. Our goal is to create safe work environments, enhance well-being, and facilitate successful return-to-work processes.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation is performed one-on-one between evaluator and client. The length of these assessments can range between one or two days for several hours each day depending on what is being tested. The purpose of the assessment is to stress the physical abilities of the client to a safe maximum in order to accurately capture the full function of the client as well as their limitations.Â
Ergonomic Assessments include evaluating the client's workstation throughout their day including equipment, tasks, physical demands and abilities of the worker. These assessments can vary depending on the job. All assessments include recommendations for activity modification, tools, equipment and other interventions that will help the worker continue being productive in a safe environment while mitigating risk for pain and injury.
