The area of work evaluation is fertile ground for future research and development by occupational therapists. Current evaluations of work range from standardized work evaluations associated with vocational rehabilitation to highly technical physical capacity and work capacity instrumentation and equipment often associated with sports medicine. In addition, methods used to identify pain and abnormal illness behavior add the psychosocial component of work evaluation. The limitations of most of the traditional approaches to work evaluations are their lack of focus on the actual work environments and on the meaning of work to persons. Occupational therapy can play an important and unique role in linking work evaluations to psychosocial and environmental variables and in formulating comprehensive theoretical models of work that should improve and refine present work evaluations.
工作评估领域是职业治疗师未来研究与发展的沃土。当前对工作的评估范围广泛，从与职业康复相关的标准化工作评估，到常与运动医学相关的高技术体能和工作能力检测仪器及设备。此外，用于识别疼痛和异常疾病行为的方法增加了工作评估的社会心理成分。大多数传统工作评估方法的局限性在于，它们缺乏对实际工作环境以及工作对人的意义的关注。职业治疗在将工作评估与社会心理和环境变量联系起来，以及构建全面的工作理论模型方面可以发挥重要且独特的作用，而这应该会改进和完善当前的工作评估。
