Clinicians can also identify those essential job functions that currently limit the client's ability to perform his or her usual duties. Clinicians are encouraged to discuss the physical demands of the position with both the client and the employer. The job description should then be compared to the client's current physical demands in order to identify the essential job functions that will be used as goals to ascertain whether or not the client is making acceptable progress with the treatment being given in returning to work. The goals should be described in objective, measurable, and functional terms. Examples include: 1) "occasional lifts of 30 lbs. from floor to shoulder height 2) able to perform light assembly work above eye level for up to 20 minutes at one time and 2 ½ hours a day, 3) able to be up on their feet for up to 2 hours at one time and 6 hours throughout the day," and 4) able to type for 45 minutes at one time without increased symptoms." Improvement in stated functional goals, hours worked, and subjective pain ratings will be used to determine whether or not further treatment will be authorized. Patient's Essential Job Functions: Measurable objective requirements to return to work: listed as maximum weights able to be lifted from floor to waist, waist to shoulder, and to overhead levels; maximum weight able to be carried; and maximum horizontal force to push/pull. Functional Range of Motion: This indicates the ability the individual has to functionally reach overhead, shoulder height, reach out horizontally, to knee height, and to the floor. Grip Strength 2nd Position: Using a grip strength dynamometer at the 2nd position (typically the strongest position) measure the individuals grip strength. Measure three times to assess consistency of efforts. Rapid Exchange Grip (REG): Assessing quick grip strength at the 2nd position on a grip strength dynamometer. Quickly gripping (less than a second in duration) for ten repetitions and measuring the maximum effort. REG efforts that do not exceed maximum efforts of standard grip strength at the 2nd position indicate a valid effort. Invalid efforts result from a REG that exceeds maximal efforts of the standard grip strength at the 2nd position. Pinch Strength: Using a pinch strength dynamometer measure key pinch (thumb against lateral surface of 2nd digit), two-point (thumb against 2nd digit), and three-pinch (thumb against 2nd and 3rd digits.) Measure three times to assess consistency of efforts. Valid efforts will produce a three-point pinch that is stronger than efforts of two-point pinch. Invalid efforts will produce a twopoint pinch that is stronger than efforts of three-point pinch. Purdue Pegboard: This standardized manual dexterity test assesses the ability to manipulate small objects with the fingers, maintain a competitive pace, functional movement, and hand-eye coordination. Includes unilateral, bilateral, and assembly activities. Minnesota Rate of Manipulation: This standardized manual dexterity test assesses the ability to manipulate pegs
