Understanding Functional Capacity Assessments
At Rehabilitation Specialists, we understand that assessing an individual’s functional capacity is essential for effective rehabilitation. Our Functional Capacity Assessments provide a thorough evaluation of a person’s physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, ensuring they receive the tailored support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
A Functional Capacity Assessment is a systematic evaluation that measures an individual’s capacity to perform everyday activities. This assessment looks at various factors, including mobility, self-care, communication skills, and social interaction. By understanding these capabilities, we can develop a personalised rehabilitation plan that addresses each client’s unique needs.

- Individualised Assessments: We recognise that each person has unique circumstances. Our assessments are tailored to focus on specific challenges, providing relevant insights that inform effective intervention strategies.
- Comprehensive Reporting: After the assessment, we provide detailed reports outlining the individual’s functional capacity, strengths, and areas needing support. This report serves as a valuable tool for healthcare providers, insurers, and families.
