SAPPHIRE CONTENT
Sapphire test content:
Sapphire gives you the options to test all
work related abilities of your client in a
detailed way. Your client is tested in a
standardized or job specific protocol that
consists of real work activities and real work
related physical endurances. And, Sapphire
is not only focused on endurance, but also
on work pace and productivity. The
question if your client can cope with all
work demands can be objective and reliable
answered with the Sapphire.
Using the Sapphire strength module, you can assess your clients strength work capacities
related to industrial standards as well as related to more personal factors like length or
handicap. Through this option the Sapphire can easy be used for individual or workspace
modifications. The strength abilities of your client are not only analyzed on consistency
but also compared with industrial standards like for instance NIOSH. At the static strength
module your client static strength for lifting, pushing and pulling is assessed at 12
different work related positions. At the dynamic strength module your clients strength for
lifting and carrying is assessed at different industrial heights using different weight boxes
he or she has to lift and carry over certain distances.
The content of this test module (working in a bending, kneeling, crouching, forward and
overhead reaching work position) consists of postures that are common in every day
work. The ability to cope with jobs that demand continuously standing and bending can
also be assessed on the Sapphire.
The ability of your client to work with his hand and fingers (fine motoric) are assessed
on this module of the Sapphire. Furthermore a number of work related upper extremity
strength activities like grip, pinch, pronation-supination and flexion-extension can
also be assesses on this module.
