Musculoskeletal Assessment

A musculoskeletal assessment tests for everything involving the skeletal and muscular system of the body. This includes a range of movement testing, orthopaedic specific testing and any other tests specific to different joints of the body.

Physical Capacity Testing

A physical capacity test assesses the strength of various body parts through different physical tests.

Audiometric Examination

An audiometric examination screens for any hearing loss in either ear in an audiometric approved environment. This involves the testing of each ear for the detection of sound at different frequencies and volumes, which can be calculated in an overall hearing loss percentage.

Vision test

A vision test screens for any visual or colour loss in either eye. This involves the testing of each eye to recall certain text size and colour at a certain distance

Spirometry Test

A spirometry test assesses the overall lung function by measuring the maximum volume of air exhaled by a person into a spirometer. This, combined with medical history, can be used to calculate and determine a person’s overall lung function.

Drug & Alcohol Screening

A drug and alcohol screen is completed with a breathalyser and a urine or oral swab test. This allows for the detection of any flagged metabolites which would warrant further investigation with a lab test.
