Physical Capacity Profile® Testing

The PCP Testing System is a collection of 28 maximum strength measurements that are used to provide objective baseline data about an employee’s maximum performance. Developed and patented by orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Gary Harbin, the testing system is designed to help in reducing work related injuries and the associated workers compensation expenses. Currently the PCP Testing System is used by medical teams for Post Offer or Pre-Placement testing, Fit for Duty, and Functional Capacity Evaluations.

Examples of body and strength measurements conducted:

  • Comprehensive Medical Review
  • Biometrics
  • Upper Extremity Strength
  • Lower Extremity Strength
  • Trunk Strength
  • Lumbar Range of Motion
  • Lower Extremity Mobility
  • Maximum Lifting Capacity

Why use the Physical Capacity Profile® Testing System?

The PCP Testing System helps employers in a number of ways:

  • Reducing injuries by ensuring employees have the physical strength to safely perform their job responsibilities.
  • Reducing workers compensation exposure by documenting impairments that an employee brings with them to the workplace.
  • Providing pre-injury baseline measurements, which allow the treating professionals the ability to expedite the rehabilitation process.
  • A decrease in workers compensation premiums by 10-30%.
  • A decrease in workers compensation injury rates by 30%.
  • $8-12 in direct medical cost savings to the employer on every dollar spent.

Is the Physical Capacity Profile® Testing System right for you?

As an employer, ask yourself these questions:

  • Does your new hire have the strength and fitness needed to do the job they were hired for?
  • Is your new employee bringing an old injury to their position?
  • Is your employee ready to return to the same job after their injury?

If any of the above sound familiar, using the PCP Testing System could be the right move for you! For more information, please contact Advanced Health Services at jbrockhoff@amberwellhealth.org.
