The EJGH Rehab Center provides comprehensive outpatient services for the prevention and treatment of workplace injury. Services include pre-placement screenings, functional capacity evaluations, work hardening/conditioning programs, ergonomic assessments, and post-injury rehabilitation for a variety of diagnoses. Our interdisciplinary team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists work closely with the physician, employer and case manager to maximize performance with a return-to-work focus.

PRE-PLACEMENT SCREENINGS
Job requirements and functional tasks are simulated in the clinic, as outlined by the employer, to clarify applicants' capabilities and determine where they best fit within the company.

JOB TASK EVALUATIONS
Therapists visit job sites and assess the tasks that comprise specific job duties. This analysis is used to design personalized fitness and conditioning programs for injury prevention and pre-placement screenings.

FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATIONS
One-day evaluations assess major physical tolerance related to strength, endurance, speed and flexibility. These tests have determined reliability and validity to determine if an employee will be restricted by his or her injury upon returning to full work duties, if duties need to be modified, or if employee would benefit from other services such as work conditioning/hardening prior to returning to work.

WORK HARDENING/CONDITIONING PROGRAMS
These programs combine physical and occupational therapy for longer treatment sessions to build endurance, agility, fine motor skills, flexibility, and strength. Employees also perform simulated job tasks. To prevent re-injury, our team educates the employee on ergonomics, adaptive strategies, correct body mechanics and energy conservation techniques.
