Work Conditioning Functional Capacity Evaluations Return to Work Evaluations Post-Offer Screen Functional Capacity Evaluations The Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive assessment of one's overall functional abilities. It measures range of motion, strength, endurance, and tolerances to work-related tasks. This comprehensive assessment is an effective tool that allows us to determine your ability to fulfill your required job duties, whether it be typing on a keyboard or lifting heavy boxes. The data gathered from the FCE also allows us to establish a baseline of your functional level and compare it to your specific job description. From there, we can then develop an effective therapy program, a timeline for your safe return to work and parameters to prevent re-injury.
