Functional Capacity Evaluation
Our Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a physical test designed to comprehensively measure an injured worker's abilities. Once understood, those abilities can be matched to the specific tasks of jobs. Our FCE includes 29 work-related functional activities that are evaluated over a two-part format for reliability. Our approach combines the highest level of safety with objective findings.
