Functional Capacity Evaluation

A functional capacity evaluation (FCE) provides a comprehensive evaluation that measures strength, endurance, physical demand work level, and positional tolerance. Objectively defining the injured employee’s physical capabilities.

  • Improve the likelihood that the patient will be safe in subsequent job task performance,
  • reducing the risk or re-injury
  • Assist the patient to improve role performance through identification of functional decrements
  • Determine the presence of disability so that a bureaucratic or juridical entity can assign, apportion, or deny financial and medical disability benefits.
  • Evaluations are safe, reliable, valid, and practical
  • When could FCEs be performed
  • Pre-work Screen
  • Functional Job Analysis
  • After participating and completing work conditioning or work hardening program
  • When reaching a plateau in physical therapy
  • When reached maximum medical improvement (MMI)
  • As part of an Independent Medical Exam (IME)
