Researchers and investigators can gather field related muscle strength data.
Static Lifting and Strength Tests
Dynamic static lifting and strength tests are the easiest and least time consuming way to qualify workers for jobs. Using the dynamic strength test as a predictor for lifting capacity reduces employee turnover and potential for work related injuries / legal issues.
Static lifting and strength testing protocols are a critical “catch-all” for protecting professionals and employers. JTECH’s portable strength test tools provide the ability to quickly perform a vast array of strength tests, including:
-
NIOSH related static push, pull and lift tests
