Functional Rehabilitation Simulator

Recently, BTE Technologies has donated a functional rehabilitation workplace simulator for use in the OSE/IP Laboratories. This machine is commonly used for Post Offer Employment Testing (POET). It will be housed in the Work Simulation and Gait Laboratory. It will be used to simulate work place tasks and to compare various products, devices, and work methods. This device is capable of simulating various workplace tasks by adjusting the position, direction, and magnitude of force required to move, turn, or manipulate the controls. These devices are commonly used to assess a workers fitness for duty and will be used to familiarize students with workplace POET testing and to simulate workplace tasks for ergonomic studies.
