Great video! Thank you. Is there anywhere I can find info on any non-physical questions / assessments that might be asked for a Work Cover injury? Thanks again
Usually non physical questions/assessments would be related to a physio/medical assessment and would be routinely asked by your health care provider. Other questions may include what roles are required for that specific role. You can check out the government website, that might help you find what you are looking for. www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/workers-compensation I hope this helps, good luck!
Great. Thanks for the speedy and helpful reply. I have my FCE next week and have definitely gained more physical strength/ mobility / confidence by going to the gym + doing prescribed exercises. Let’s see how this old girl gets on! 🫣😄
I have both torn rotator cuff’s and I also need my c6-c7 fusion surgery done. I’ve already had L4-5 fusion. And a meniscus tear. I don’t think I can do very many of these test. And 5 fractured ribs. I’m doing this test next week. Will they make me do this? 🤷🏻♂️
It is up to your physio to gauge where you are in your rehab journey This video is an ideal of what we aim to test and what you should aim to achieve to feel comfortable getting back into work Everyone is at a different level, so don’t feel discouraged if you can’t achieve all of these lifts and movements right away Good luck with your rehab, you got this :)
For the report to be valid as an assessment, it needs to be done by a registered health professional or doctor. I hope this information helps educate people and build an expectation of what an assessment may look like Hope that helps :)
