Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)

Accurate Assessments for Safe Return-to-Work Decisions

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) are essential in determining an individual’s ability to perform job-related tasks safely and effectively. Whether following a workplace injury or as part of a return-to-work program, our FCEs provide objective data to guide employers, physicians, and case managers in making informed decisions about an employee’s physical capabilities.

Determining an Employee’s Readiness to Return to Work

After a workplace injury, it’s essential to assess whether an employee is physically prepared to resume their job duties. An FCE evaluates their strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall function, ensuring that returning to work won’t compromise their health or productivity.

Identifying Necessary Workplace Accommodations

Not all employees can return to work at full capacity immediately after an injury. An FCE identifies any physical limitations and recommends reasonable accommodations, such as modified job tasks, assistive equipment, or adjusted work schedules to support a safe transition back to work.

Supporting Workers’ Compensation or Disability Claims

FCEs provide objective, measurable data that helps determine the extent of an employee’s injury and their ability to work. This information is often required by insurance providers and legal teams to validate workers’ compensation claims or disability benefits, ensuring fair and accurate compensation.
