DISTRIBUTION - The analysis of the injury data clearly demonstrates that the IPCS physical capability
assessment program had a dramatic impact on reducing both the frequency and severity of
injury as measured by incident rate, total cost of injuries and average cost per injury in
comparison to the Not Tested Group for all injuries and exertion injuries. The combination of
reducing the frequency of injury and reducing the average cost per injury resulted in greater
savings and return-on-investment for the COMPANY with the IPCS program.
If the IPCS program had been in place during the 24-month period for the Not Tested Group,
the net savings minus the cost of the program would have been $513,548.

Publications

This published study showed that the IPCS isokinetic knee-shoulder new hire physical capability evaluation was significantly more effective in reducing work related injuries than a tradtional functional capacity evaluation (FCE). (2004)


This published study shows significant reductions in both the frequency and severity of injuries for United Airline workers as a result of the IPCS physical capability knee-shoulder isokinetic program. (2002)


This published study shows significant reductions in the frequency of overexertion knee, shoulder and back injuries for this less-than-truckload company as a result of the IPCS isokinetic physical capability evaluation program. (2000)


This published study clearly shows the impact of the IPCS isokinetic knee-shoulder physical capability evaluation program on reducing the frequency and severity of injuries for the American Airline Rampworkers. (1999)

Airline Industry

This validation study statistically demonstrates the validity of the IPCS technology. The data analysis shows the IPCS knee-shoulder isokinetic protocol significantly reduces the frequency of injuries and cost perinjury for the United Airline worker. (2002)


Overexertion injuries to the shoulders and knees are an age-old problem. The RIMS organization and similar groups continue to reportthat direct and indirect costs of these injuries are enormous. By matching the physical capability of the worker to the physical demands of the job, these injuries and associated costs can be prevented. (1999)

Distribution

The following case study was completed over a 23-month period on a pilot basis for a national gas cylinder distribution company. The case study focused on 5 locations that collectively employed about 200 individuals. The study shows that a company does not need to be a Fortune 1000 to reap the benefits of the IPCS technology. Smaller companies can realize the same return-on-investment by reducing the frequency and severity of injuries through the IPCS program. (Fall, 2005)

Trucking Industry

This L-T-L case study shows significant workers' compensation savings because of the IPCS program. An additional benefit comes with the recommendation of a more fit and healthier individual. (2004)

A Comprehensive Analysis and Case Study for A Large US LogisticsTrucking Company Showing Injury Rates and Injury Costs Comparing IPCS Tested Employees to Employees Not Tested Over a 3-year Period. (2002)


This case study clearly shows the IPCS techology to be superior to otherkinds of physical capability assessments including an isokinetic knee-shoulder-back assessment vendor when comparing average cost perinjury. The data was analyzed from January 1993 through August 2000 for a Logistics Trucking company. (2000)


Review two case histories from less-than-truckload companies. The data shows the reduction in injuries to the knees, shoulders, and back. It also shows the IPCS technology to be more effective than another "isokinetic" testing vendor that uses an isokinetic knee-shoulder-back testing protocol when testing for the same company. (2000)


Review trucking company data that shows a reduction in frequency and costs associated with overexertion injuries to the knees, shoulders and back. (2000)

Food Service Distribution

This 35-month study shows that the IPCS evaluation to be significantly more effective in reducing the frequency of injuries and worker's compensation costs than a functional capacity evaluation (FCE). (2004)


This case study compares the IPCS program to the Advance Ergonomics program. The results clearly shows that the IPCS program is more effective to the AEI program. (2003)
