• WorkAbility Movement Screen has been update to include scoring information.
• Other datasheets have minor updates.

• Intake forms for WorkAbility FCE and Fitness Exam templates contain a minor update to the Current Work Status section on the first page to add a check box option for “Working with restrictions”. This was in response to a suggestion made by Sandy Goldstein of Measurabilities in Scottsdale, AZ. The comments section for this is a great place to clarify the worker’s understanding of current restrictions and related employer accommodations to support modified duty.
• There are some changes to the intake forms for our “Lifestyle Physical Function Screen” and “Recent Physical Activity Survey (RPAS)” that were made in response to recommendations for our new clinical research study.
• A different Comorbidity section was added to replace the previous item in response to recommendations for our new clinical research study. Use the comments area for this test to list prior surgeries, other relevant health conditions, and to further clarify health conditions.
• We added WorkAbility Home Mobility Intake Forms that includes a page to guide review of home mobility issues.

• 
  
• We added a new description for Virtual Movement Health Promotion services.
• There are minor edits to most other items.

• We implemented a major update to factors and operational definitions for Job Match Demands – Full Duty and on the Summary Report of WorkAbility in the Comprehensive and Disability FCE reports. This reflects our recommendations after review of how physical demands are assessed in the Occupational Requirements Survey that is replacing the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. We expanded our number of WorkAbility factors from 26 to 30 factors to address requests to modify or include additional factors by several providers.
• The main changes to WorkAbility factors are: a. We included another factor under the Material Handling group for “Seldom middle lift maximum” where you can report the SAFE result for the WorkAbility Chest Lift Strength Test, b. We included an additional factor under Physical Aptitudes to communicate ratings for finger dexterity in the dominant versus other hand; c. We added three additional factors under Work Tolerances to enable reporting of “Reaching forward, dominant” arm, “Reaching forward, other side”, and “Traditional keyboarding” tolerances. d. We retitled “Crawl/kneel” to “Low work at or below knees” to be more consistent with the new ORS terminology. e. We eliminated the “Twist/turn head” factor because ORS does not have any comparable factors.
• We created new sample reports for WorkAbility Movement Screen, Comprehensive FCE - No Pictures, and Home Mobility Evaluation
• On all reports we changed rating labels from color to grayscale.

• The Active Movement Screen has been retitled to “Active Movement Scale” to better distinguish this as a test that is a common element of all WorkAbility Exams. In preparation for the launch of our new clinical research study, we simplified the “Forward bend over” from right and left movements make it a single sagittal plane movement. We also added a new movement for seated neck extension. There is now a one page summary of the instructor instructions at the end that was developed to support our new clinical research study. 
• WorkAbility Rate of Manipulation Turning Test should be routinely administered in a seated posture, unless accommodation is warranted to enhance performance. The Turning Test is done before the Placing Test.
• WorkAbility Rate of Manipulation Placing Test should be routinely administered in a standing posture, unless accommodation or other postures are warranted to enhance the subject’s performance to test other postures that are job-specific, such as kneeling or crouching. 
• There is an updated protocol for the Grooved Pegboard Test that is simpler to follow and allows for 2 trial administration of the Place and Remove Test.
