Assessing the older worker: Are current evaluations valid measurements?
Older workers that sustain an injury effecting their work performances are increasingly being treated by rehabilitation professionals.

This article examines the normative data relating to some of these assessment tools and the potential injustice imposed upon older workers when they are compared to these standards.
