The XRTS Material Handling Assessment sets this FCE testing methodology apart from all others. The material handling assessment compares a set of baseline lifts to the same lifts repeated on the XRTS lever arm and compares an individual’s reported maximum efforts with workloads of different physical appearance.
This allows for an objective measure of effort through data comparison. Other methods for measuring effort during material handling rely on an evaluator’s opinion of observed movement patterns or changes in heart rate which lack objective, data- derived criteria.
