Functional Capacity Evaluation

Getting Employees Back to Work Faster & Preventing Workplace Injuries

Our Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) is an standardized objective test to determine a client’s physical tolerances and abilities and compare those levels to industry standards. Our test evaluates the client’s full and consistent effort level as well as determining reliable and measurable pain reports. It determines the exact percentage of the job an injured employee can perform and correlates it to the physical demand level (PDL). Our FCEs have also been a resource for disability purposes as well.

We can perform a baseline FCE to tests the overall physical demands of gainful employment or a job specific FCE which compares functional abilities to the physical demands of a job. We strive to have our reports speak the language of physicians, insurance carriers, and employers making it convenient for everyone involved in getting an injured employee back to work.
