Functional Capacity Evaluations
We perform two types of FCE:
Basic physical abilities – an objective measurement of upper extremity strength including push/pull and lifting/carrying ability. Strength values are compared to norms.
Job specific – in addition to testing basic abilities, work simulation activities are utilized to determine whether a patient can return to or be trained for a specific job.
FCEs are performed on an intensive one-to-one basis and are approximately 4 hours in length.
Who should be referred for an FCE?
Individuals who have achieved maximum medical improvement, but continue to have issues related to return to work
Individuals who need quantification of their physical abilities for determination of disability status
Individuals who need their function quantified prior to vocational job search and/or return to work
