Claim:
A functional capacity evaluator comprising: a strain block; a strain gauge attached to the strain block; a first pair of grips attachable to the strain block, and when a user squeezes the first pair of grips together using a grip motion, the strain block and strain gauge are flexed for measuring a grip strength of the user; a second pair of grips attachable to the strain block, and when the user squeezes the second pair of grips together using a pinch motion, the strain block and strain gauge are flexed for measuring a pinch strength of the user; and a deadlift bar attachable to the strain block, and when the strain block is supported in a first direction and the user pulls on the deadlift bar in a second direction opposite the first direction using a deadlift motion, the strain block and strain gauge are flexed for measuring a deadlift strength of the user.
