Occupational Rehabilitation

Support safe and measurable return-to-work rehabilitation

Bio6 helps occupational rehabilitation clinicians assess functional movement capacity, monitor recovery progress, and generate objective reports to support return-to-work decisions.

Challenges in occupational rehabilitation

Occupational therapists help injured workers safely return to their jobs after musculoskeletal injuries or surgery. However, many functional assessments rely on observation and subjective reporting.

Clinicians must determine whether a patient can safely perform tasks such as lifting, carrying, or repetitive movements without risking reinjury — and without objective measurements, this is difficult to evidence.

Bio6 introduces objective movement analysis to support occupational therapy assessments with the data clinicians need.

Quantify functional improvement

Measure joint mobility, symmetry, and task performance with sensor precision — replacing observation-based estimates with objective data.

Detect unsafe movement patterns

Identify compensatory movements and instability during functional tasks before they lead to re-injury in the workplace.

Document progress for insurers

Generate structured rehabilitation reports backed by biometric data to support insurance claims and return-to-work decisions.

Support multidisciplinary teams

Share objective movement data with employers, physicians, and rehabilitation teams to coordinate safe and confident return-to-work plans.

Remote return-to-work assessments

Functional movement assessments can be performed remotely to support return-to-work evaluations between clinic visits.

Clinical Example

Warehouse worker recovering from shoulder injury

A warehouse employee recovering from a rotator cuff injury must regain mobility and stability before returning to work. During rehabilitation, the occupational therapist performs a lifting task evaluation using BioBand sensors.

Assessment

Lifting task evaluation

BioBand sensors capture objective biomechanical data during a standardised lifting protocol:

  • Shoulder range of motion
  • Movement symmetry
  • Muscle activation patterns
  • Movement stability during lifting

Clinical insight

These measurements help therapists determine whether the patient can safely return to work or requires additional rehabilitation before clearance.

Evaluate real-world functional tasks

Occupational rehabilitation focuses on the ability to perform real work tasks safely. Bio6 helps therapists analyze functional movement during assessments such as:

Lifting assessment

Analyze lifting mechanics and detect compensatory movements during load-bearing tasks.

Repetitive movement evaluation

Monitor fatigue and instability patterns during repeated task simulations.

Postural stability analysis

Evaluate trunk stability and balance during prolonged standing and overhead work tasks.

Return-to-work functional tests

Assess whether patients can safely perform job-specific movements before clearance.

An evidence-based return-to-work workflow

A structured approach from initial injury assessment to return-to-work clearance.

01

Baseline functional assessment

Capture movement data during a standardised task evaluation using BioBand sensors at the first appointment.

02

Design a rehabilitation program

Create a structured rehabilitation plan based on identified movement deficits and functional limitations.

03

Monitor recovery across sessions

Track functional capacity improvements session over session with continuous objective measurement.

04

Generate return-to-work report

Produce a structured clinical report documenting rehabilitation progress and return-to-work readiness.

Outcomes

Data-driven return-to-work outcomes

Bio6 provides occupational therapists with precise, measurable outcomes to support objective return-to-work decisions.

Session-over-session trend tracking

Compare functional capacity across every rehabilitation session. Identify improvements and plateaus early to adjust treatment programs in time.

Movement symmetry index

Measure left-right movement balance and detect compensatory patterns during functional tasks. Identify unsafe asymmetries before return-to-work clearance.

Functional capacity benchmarking

Track patients against job-specific functional benchmarks. Provide clinicians and employers with a clear, evidence-based signal of return-to-work readiness.

Insurer and employer reports

Generate structured outcome reports that demonstrate rehabilitation progress — ready to share with insurers, employers, and occupational health teams.

Reports
