What is the Job Function Matching System?
The Job Function Matching System (JFMS) is a comprehensive methodology for documenting job physical demands, testing functional capacity, and making evidence-based matching decisions. It bridges the gap between employers and healthcare providers with standardized processes.
Standardized Documentation
Create consistent, detailed job function descriptions that document physical demands objectively.
Objective Measurement
Use kinesiophysical testing methods to measure functional capacity with precision and accuracy.
Fair Matching
Match employees to jobs based on documented abilities, ensuring fair and defensible placement decisions.
Legal Compliance
Meet ADA requirements with standardized processes that demonstrate good faith accommodation efforts.
Why Organizations Trust JFMS
How the System Works
A systematic four-step process that transforms job analysis into actionable matching decisions. Each step builds on the previous to create a complete, defensible system.

- Force and movement mapping
- Frequency documentation
- Environmental factors
Design Test Protocols
Create standardized job function tests based on documented demands. Each test mirrors actual job requirements for valid assessment.
- Test protocol development
- Equipment specifications
- Safety parameters
- Scoring criteria
Deliver Assessments
Administer kinesiophysical testing using standardized protocols. Measure functional capacity objectively and safely.
