Physical Demands Analyses are the cornerstone of a comprehensive musculoskeletal injury prevention program. PDAs outline the physical demands of a job and are used during our return-to-work program to evaluate the difference between the injured employees’ capabilities and that of the job as outline in the PDA.
MedWorks develops PDAs for our clients to server a number of uses. It helps identify the true tasks functional requirements required to perform the tasks, and safety risks associated with a new position. Secondly, where indicated, the PDA sets the stage for developing pre-employment functional assessments to assist in solidifying the recruitment process. The assessments can then be completed in a clinical setting to determine whether the candidate can perform the basic job demands. Lastly, the PDA is a comprehensive document that can be used to assist in guiding rehabilitation and return to work programs for injured employees.
Cognitive Demands Analyses (“CDA”)

Similarly, to our PDAs, MedWorks conduct CDAs to provide objective analysis of a job. This is particularly important in the management of complex, mental wellbeing or neurological cases.
