Work Rehabilitation Services

Curtis Work Rehabilitation Services program(CWRS) offers a complete range of services that assist patients in rebuilding their strength, skills and confidence. Our ergonomic consultation and education programs also show employees how to prevent injuries, thus keeping employers’ costs down.

Please note that the following services are available for workers with all conditions and injuries, not just those involving the hand.

Functional Capacity Evaluation


Tests the client’s overall physical tolerances with respect to his/her current or targeted occupation. If no job is targeted, the evaluation can help by identifying the client’s abilities for use in further vocational planning.

Work Hardening and Conditioning


This program, which typically lasts two to six weeks, builds job skills and strength through the use of conditioning activities, job-specific work simulations, exercise and education. View our program management report.

Ergonomic Consultation


Offers comprehensive on-site evaluations of a workplace to identify risk factors for cumulative trauma injuries and other work-related injuries. Professional recommendations may include engineering solutions, management controls, medical management concepts, exercise programs and training programs to decrease work-related injuries.

Job Analysis


CWRS provides a professional review and assessment of the workplace to determine the physical demand of a specific job and the physical requirements of an employee to perform the job safely. The service is available independently of any other services to assist in providing thorough, accurate information on the job in question anytime in the process.

Education Programs


CWRS offers a full range of specially tailored on-site educational programs for employers and employees designed to establish or improve ergonomic programs and decrease workplace problems and injuries.
