FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATIONS (FCES)
The FCE evaluation is an excellent measurement tool for determining present physical capabilities. Our evaluations are performed by licensed physical therapists or occupational therapists, and the results are presented in a user-friendly report. Our comprehensive and valid reports provide:
- Assessment of the employee’s ability to return to previous occupation following an injury
- Comparison of the employee’s physical ability and physical requirements of the job
- Validity testing to compare subjective reports to the employee’s true abilities
- Recommendations offering an unbiased party to claim
- Assessment of the employee’s current capabilities as a baseline of post-injury function and assistance of assigning restrictions by the occupational team
- Standardized summary report
- Delivery within 72 hours
