A versatile device for work capacity evaluation Assess the physical demands present in short-duration, table-height, and floor-level tasks. The Bench is primarily focused on evaluating sustained positional tolerances and upper-extremity dexterity. It gives you the opportunity for distraction-based observation of sustained standing, bending, forward reaching, hand-eye coordination, and stooping/crouching, as well as cognitive abilities related to spatial problem solving. The Matheson Bench is a criterion referenced test. Method-Time Measurement (MTM) time standards have been established for each of the four individual test protocols and the two cycle protocols.
