The BIO-ERGONOMICS DISABILITY MANAGEMENT MODEL
Vic Zuccarello, OTR/L, C.E.E.S., ABDA

The BIO-ERGONOMICS Model:

1. Accurately identify the level at which the candidate can perform work activities and the extent of the candidate’s physical impairment.
2. Assess the extent to which the perception of pain and disability may be controlling the candidate’s life circumstances and negatively affecting their participation in activities.
3. Accurately identify job hazards/exposures so the appropriate treatment pathway may be implemented preventing the onset of chronic pain, disability, and reoccurrence of injury.

The Functional Capacity Evaluation:
• Over 60 research references.
• Material Handling and Non-Material Handling tests with high predictive validity.
• Performance criteria to test for consistency/quality of effort, and non-organic signs.
• Comprehensive reports, reader-friendly format, and digital photography

The Ergonomic Job Analysis and Causal Relations Analysis:
• Determination of Essential Job Functions and Task Analysis.
• Use of standardized Ergonomic Assessment tools to identify exposures and causation.
• Recommendation of abatement strategies to decrease exposures.
• Digital photography and video.
• Comprehensive reports, reader-friendly format.

The Post-Offer Employment and Fit-For-Duty Evaluation
• Determination of Essential Job Functions and Task Analysis.
• ADA-compliant employment test for new-hires and employees returning to work.
