Functional Capacity Evaluation [FCE]
At Northwest Physical Therapy we conduct examinations (FCE) that assess an individual’s physical and functional capabilities. A functional capacity evaluation (FCE) evaluates an individual’s capacity to perform work activities related to his or her participation in employment. The FCE process compares the individual’s health status, and body functions and structures to the demands of the job and the work environment. Our well-designed FCE consists of a battery of standardized assessments that offers results in performance-based measures and demonstrates predictive value about the individual’s return to work along with client’s safety and well-being.
At our clinics Functional Capacity Evaluations are performed by trained/certified clinicians. Our FCE provides objective information that can be compared to the physical demands of a job or another functional activity and can be used to make return-to-work decisions, disability determinations or to generate a rehabilitation program.
