Functional Capacity Evaluation
Our Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a systematic evaluation of a client’s abilities, carried out by our Occupational Therapists using a recognised protocol.
The FCE provides a comprehensive initial assessment that gathers detailed information about the client’s health and medical history:
• current performance ability
• activities of daily living
• details of work history.
This is an in-depth, customised evaluation that combines objective measurements with professional clinical judgment. We identity transferable skills where appropriate.
Assessments usually last five hours. We examine:
• postural and mobility tolerances
• upper limb function
• manual handling
• fitness and endurance
• effort provided
• reliability of pain and disability reported by the client.
After the assessment we provide a comprehensive report. This report contains details of the assessment, test results, and a summary highlighting the main, relevant findings together with our recommendations.
Consists of:
| 1hr Pre-Assessment |
| 5hrs Assessment |
| Comprehensive Report |
