Functional Capacity Evaluations
The FCE is a comprehensive evaluation to objectively measure physical performance using both computerized and individualized work simulation activities. This evaluation provides information regarding the worker's ability to safely return to work. During this evaluation, we use objective measures to determine whether the client had participated with a consistent effort. We complete injury-specific FCE's to avoid unnecessary costs.
