Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE)
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE): Your Path to a Successful Return to Work
What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation?
Standardised FCE:
Our standardised assessments can be performed at your workplace, combining structured tests with real job tasks. This approach uses the specific tools and equipment required for your role. Alternatively, we can simulate job requirements in our clinic, particularly when establishing an individual’s overall capacity. Our evaluations cover various demands, including:
- Lifting and Carrying
- Postural Tolerances (sitting, standing, reaching)
- Dynamic Tolerances (walking, stair climbing, crawling)
- Pushing and Pulling
Specific functional testing:
For those needing a focused assessment, our specific functional testing targets up to six work-related tasks. This streamlined approach is particularly effective at the workplace and helps identify key components of your job role, facilitating any necessary upgrades.
Assessing Work Readiness
Are you ready to resume your job duties? Our evaluations determine whether you are physically and functionally prepared to return to work, ensuring a smooth transition.
Creating Return-to-Work Strategies
We develop tailored strategies and plans to support your reintegration into the workplace. Our goal is to make your return as seamless as possible.
Evaluating Job Performance
Understand your capability to meet the specific demands of your job. Our assessments provide insights into your performance and potential adjustments needed.
Desk-Based FCE
Our desk-based FCE is specifically designed for office roles. This evaluation can be conducted at your workplace or in our clinic, testing activities common to office environments, including the use of sit/stand desks.
FCE for Individuals with Disabilities
At [Your Company Name], we are committed to bridging the gap between workplaces and individuals with disabilities. Our FCEs help establish your capacity and identify necessary adjustments, such as task modifications or assistive equipment. This information empowers you to communicate effectively with potential or current employers about how you can perform your job.
Home/ADL-Based FCE
Our FCEs are also valuable for assessing your capacity for activities of daily living (ADLs). This evaluation is essential for individuals preparing to return to work or those recovering from incidents, such as motor vehicle accidents.
Medico-Legal FCE
Several of our assessors specialize in FCEs for medico-legal purposes, whether for home/ADL assessments or standardized work-related evaluations.
