Wanting to return to work

[lularjbohenry]

I injured my shoulder on the job 5 months ago. I am ready to return to work but I have been informed I must lift 125 lbs before I can return to work. I was sent by my physician to a Functional Capacity Evaluation testing center in OKC. This test did not come out so good for me. The problem is they had me lift as much as I could 4 times without stoppping. but the object I lifted was a box approximatly 16 inchs long, 16 inches wide and 18 inches tall. This test does not accuratly measure what we as EMTs lift. I am strickly an EMT, not fire, so I only lift cots and people, mostly cots. Workers Comp wants to give me an accurate test but I need to find a testing center that test a person lifting a cot with the weight distributed across the cot. I know AMR does these test because I tested with them a couple of years back, but the closest one I know of is in Wichita Falls, TX. Does anyone know of a place in Oklahoma that does such a test. If you do you can contact me at lularjbohenry@yahoo.com or within this topic.
