This invention is a method for determining a task specific protocol for determining the functional ability of an individual to engage in a predetermined characteristic required for the performance of a selected task; and identifying a particular job with increased risk of job related injury, thereby, identifying a hazardous task required by that job by using a portable measuring device (10) to measure a predetermined characteristic of the hazardous task during performance of the job by an individual in the work place. The measurement is then analyzed at a central processing facility by a professional to identify a hazardous task. A task specific protocol can then be generated and used to screen individuals based on functional ability to perform the hazardous task. The portable measuring device can also be used to generate baseline data by measuring a predetermined characteristic of isolated movement associated with a standardized protocol of a healthy individual. Thus, the functional status, rehabilitation and recovery progress of an injured individual can be assessed by a comparison to the baseline data. |
