Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Functional testing is crucial for return-to-work (RTW) decisions.
  • Current testing methods face challenges in access and availability.
  • New approaches are needed to meet evolving healthcare demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To employ a user-centered design approach for developing remotely administered hybrid functional test (RAHFT) protocols.
  • To gather and interpret end-user feedback from clinicians and patients.
  • To define functional requirements for RAHFT.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted interviews with 20 participants (10 clinicians, 10 patients) on current and prospective functional testing.
  • Synthesized interview data to inform a focus group with clinician experts.
  • Identified functional design requirements for RAHFT protocols.

Main Results:

  • Patients prioritized equipment access, technology, safety, and personal connection in functional testing.
  • Clinicians stressed the need for RAHFT to yield valid data for treatment planning and RTW outcomes.
  • RAHFT protocols should capture both subjective and performance-based information.

Conclusions:

  • Remotely administered hybrid functional test (RAHFT) protocols can facilitate early and safe return-to-work.
  • RAHFT enhances testing availability and accessibility for individuals unable to attend in-person evaluations.
  • This study's findings offer essential functional requirements for designing effective RAHFT protocols.
