Functional Capacity Evaluation

Functional Capacity Evaluations are, valuable tools in assessing an employee’s safe working abilities and/or establishing baseline abilities for disability evaluations.

Our comprehensive FCE correlates a client’s functional abilities to the essential physical demands of their job to determine whether they possess the physical abilities required to meet the demands of their job.

The FCE’s primary purpose is to determine an individual’s functional abilities and limitations in the context of a safe environment while focusing on
productive work tasks.

Consistency of effort and reliability of pain ratings are important elements of our Functional Capacity Evaluation. Thirty seven separate criteria throughout testing help to determine if a client is putting forth consistent effort and whether their subjective pain ratings are reliable. The Functional Capacity Evaluation testing method we use has consistently stood up in a court of law.
