Functional Capacity and Work-Related Testing
This category of evaluations is focused on determining whether individuals can safely and effectively meet the physical demands of their job roles. These evaluations are commonly used for return-to-work decisions, disability determination, and pre-employment screenings. By comparing your current functional abilities to job-specific requirements, our tests help employers, physicians, and patients make informed, safety-first decisions.
Who Benefits from These Evaluations?
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
A comprehensive evaluation of job-related physical capabilities, ideal for return-to-work or disability cases.
Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
Time: 2–4 hours
The FCE is an in-depth evaluation that measures your ability to perform physical tasks required for your job. It may include lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and job simulation activities. It is often used for return-to-work planning, disability determinations, or guiding rehabilitation plans.
Test options: General FCE, Job-Specific FCE, Return-to-Work FCE, Disability Determination FCE
Work Evaluation
A shorter version of the FCE, used to screen general physical abilities for work tasks.
