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.  time standards have been established for each of the four individual test protocols and the two cycle protocols.

The Matheson Bench includes the following parts:

• 2 Seat-support brackets
• 2 Upright back-support bars 
• 5 Seat tubes with 2 holes at each end
• 7 Back tubes with 1 hole at each end
• 5 Bins with lids for hardware
• 1 Users manual – with general instructions for the evaluator, the four protocols (assembly/ disassembly at table and floor height) and instructions for reporting results with the MTM Time Standards
• 1 Assembly poster
• 1 Pad double-sided Data Recording Forms (pad of 50)
• Bolts, Nuts, Washers and other hardware for assembly
