Comprehensive physical exams help to assess the individual’s overall health, as well as their ability to carry out the job in question safely. Many employers will also require screenings for individuals who are returning to work after a long time off. This might be due to an injury, a prolonged illness, or a temporary layoff.

Physical exams can include the following:

• Review of medical history, review of current medications
• Record height and weight check
• Vision test
• Cardiovascular assessment
• Motion, strength, and functional tests
• Handling, stability, and flexibility tests
• Urinalysis
• Drug test
• HPES

Many companies choose to have their employees undergo routine physical exams on an annual or semi-annual basis. This is a series of rudimentary diagnostics designed to catch recently developed medical issues, such as diabetes, heart disease, and other crucial medical conditions that might affect the individual’s ability to perform their job safely.

These annual physical examinations go a long way toward improving workplace safety and productivity. If a test does reveal a recently developed health or performance issue, we can recommend treatment options to ensure it doesn’t affect workplace safety.

A lot of employers require a medical assessment for all employees after a significant time off due to injury, illness, or a temporary layoff. This serves to determine their overall health as well as their physical capacity to safely do their job.

Many times this includes performing a complete medical evaluation that includes assessing things like range of motion, as well as the ability to lift, push, and pull according to established parameters. Accurately assessing these abilities can dramatically reduce the risk of injury or aggravation to a previous injury.

At Midtown Medical Group we are set up to handle a wide range of diagnostic tasks to assess an individual’s fitness for duty.

Biometric screening is a broad diagnostic that evaluates a wide range of important health data. It serves to identify individuals who might be at high risk for health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, and stroke, just to name a few.

The biometric screenings administered by Midtown Medical Group can help catch high-risk factors as well as reduce health risks and improve the individual’s overall health. It can also go a long way toward reducing healthcare costs, while also improving employee productivity.

Also known as a PFT, this is a noninvasive test to assess the performance of an individual’s lungs and respiratory system. A pulmonary function test effectively measures key factors such as lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange.

This is a comprehensive diagnostic of cardiac performance that involves tracing from 12 different electrical positions on the individual’s heart. The goal is to accurately determine if the individual has an undiagnosed abnormality within their heart’s electrical system.

This is a blood test that is used to measure and examine cells, chemicals, proteins, and other key substances in the blood.

This health assessment diagnostic helps evaluate if the individual is medically fit to use a respirator on the job. It is known in some industries as a Respirator Medical Clearance. It is a critical diagnostic to help protect employees’ health at work as well as ensure workplace compliance with the respiratory protection standards that were maintained and established by OSHA.

This is a simple, yet critical evaluation to ensure that a typical respirator will properly fit the face of the individual without any leaks or alignment issues.
