Prescreening and Functional Assessments for Safer Hiring and Smarter Workplaces

Why Prescreening and Functional Assessments Matter

Employers need reliable insight into the capabilities of both new and existing staff. Our physiotherapists at Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury conduct detailed Prescreening and Functional Assessments to evaluate a person’s physical capacity, motivation, health status, and suitability for job-specific demands.

These assessments help employers make informed decisions when hiring or assigning roles. They also reduce the risk of workplace injuries by ensuring that employees are physically capable of performing the job tasks required of them.

Prevent Work Injuries with Functional Screening

Preventing injuries before they happen is more cost-effective than managing claims later. We assess musculoskeletal function both in isolation and during job-specific simulated tasks.

This allows us to:

• Identify red flags before hiring

• Determine whether someone meets job-specific physical criteria

• Evaluate long-term injury risk in a potential role

Advanced Technology: AxIT System

We also utilise the AxIT system, a real-time muscle function assessment tool. This advanced system allows us to objectively measure strength, balance, and mobility in a functional context—helping employers understand a worker’s real capabilities.

Whether you’re hiring new employees or reintegrating someone post-injury, AxIT helps us provide precise, data-driven recommendations.

How Prescreening and Functional Assessments Support Your Business

These assessments are useful in a variety of workplace scenarios, including:

• Return-to-work planning

• Injury rehabilitation goals

• Pre-work or post-offer employment fitness tests

• Workers’ compensation case settlement

• Disability evaluations

• Vocational rehabilitation

• Student, volunteer, or light-duty role assessments
