A Functional Abilities Evaluation is an assessment performed by our Occupational Therapist to determine your ability to perform specific kinds of work. This evaluation measures factors including range of motion, physical strength, endurance, fitness, and more, and also factors in your personal medical history. A Functional Abilities Test can be a requirement for many physically-demanding jobs, and Western Ontario Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Centre’s Occupational Therapist can help you get a complete and extensive evaluation to not only meet the requirements of an employer, but also identify where future problems or what areas you should consider strengthening or working on further.

When returning to work following an injury, your requirements can go beyond just traditional therapy, and insteads needs to include work conditioning to help prevent future injuries and ensure that you are up to returning to work at full capacity. Work conditioning programs are a combination of strength and conditioning exercises designed around the needs of your job. We work with you to develop a program that targets the areas that are most impacted by your work, and tailor the exercises around strengthening and restoring function to those areas.
When you come to Western Ontario Sports Injuries and Rehabilitation Centre, we evaluate you to understand your strength and conditioning situation and your work conditions and tailor your work conditioning program just for you. The number and length of your work conditioning sessions are determined after an initial evaluation with our professionals.
