Ergonomic/Display Screen Assessment (DSE)
Ergonomic Assessments are recommended to address in detail, the individual workers requirements to improve health, comfort, and productivity in the workplace, when a medical condition or ongoing symptoms are experienced.
This assessment is undertaken by an Occupational Therapist and can be conducted prior to an employee returning to work following a period of sick leave, to ensure the work task layout and equipment are the most suitable for them. The assessment can be used proactively to assist in preventing ill health in employees where the cumulative impact of poor ergonomics is likely to result in Musculoskeletal deficits.
All workers who are classified as DSE workers must comply with current legislation to complete a DSE assessment routinely and or when there are changes to their workstation and or experiencing adverse MSK symptomology which may be related. If a client is known to have suffered an injury or illness, an Occupational Therapist can assist in correctly identifying modification and adjustments to the workstation or task.

The assessment is undertaken by a specialist neurological Occupational Therapist using evidence based screening tools to provide guidance on timely and effective intervention to improve an individual’s functional performance in everyday life.
Occupational Therapy Functional Assessment
This is a face-to-face assessment with the individual, in which all relevant areas of functional performance are assessed e.g. personal and domestic activities of daily living, occupational performance (leisure and social interests) etc.
Cognitive/Fatigue Assessment

Functional Capacity Evaluation
This comprehensive and detailed assessment is applied to determine an individual’s current physical ability to perform work duties, to help them return to a work role, or alternatively, gain new employment.
