Strength Evaluation System-
for Strength Testing, Functional Capacity Evaluation and Physical Work Capacity
The
Jackson Strength Evaluation System was developed by Dr. Andrew Jackson at
the University of Houston. The system is widely used by rehabilitation
professionals to monitor progress in recovery from injury and by
industrial testing specialists to assess the ability of job applicants to
perform physically demanding work tasks. The Jackson Strength Evaluation System features
an electronic load cell for accurate and reliable measurements of
isometric strength and a new programmable microprocessor control, offering
user-defined standardized test protocols. The system is designed to meet
the needs of Jackson lift, torso and pull strength test protocols and the
lift tasks of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
The system comes complete with detailed instructions for the recommended
strength tests and offers validated, standardized test protocols and
normative data.
It is lightweight and compact Jackson Strength Evaluation System includes:
The following components can be added to the Jackson Strength Evaluation System for performing the Wellness Assessment portion of the Wellness-Fitness Initiative for Firefighters:
Physical Work Capacity / Functional Capacity Evaluation
The Physical Work Capacity component evaluates an individual’s capacity to perform physically demanding work tasks. System input includes the person’s physical ability test results and demographic data. Output is a computer-generated report that assesses the person’s Physical Work Capacity. The report helps employers make either of two employment decisions, which are: 1. Pre-employment – The PWC report evaluates a job applicant’s capacity to perform physically demanding work tasks. 2. Return-to-Work – The FC report evaluates an employee’s capacity to perform physically demanding tasks at a level that allows for the safe return to work.
Data used to develop the Physical Work Capacity evaluation comes from 20 years of pre-employment research completed at the University of Houston. The purpose of this research was to validate pre-employment tests and define physiologically justified standards or "cut scores." The ergonomic principle is to match the worker to the demands of the job. This validation research is the linkage between test results and job tasks.
The Functional Capacity component assesses Work Capacity and physical fitness. The fitness components include maximum aerobic capacity (VO2max), body composition and flexibility. These are the common components included in adult fitness test batteries (Baumgartner & Jackson, 1999; Golding, Meyers & Sinning, 1989).
