| Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) |
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) are used to measure the maximal safe working
abilities of current or prospective workers. They consist of a physical abilities testing battery
which helps match the physical abilities of workers to the physical demand of work. The
placement of workers by their physical abilities has been shown to produce the following
results:
abilities of current or prospective workers. They consist of a physical abilities testing battery
which helps match the physical abilities of workers to the physical demand of work. The
placement of workers by their physical abilities has been shown to produce the following
results:
- Reduce the number of work-related injuries that result from a mismatch of worker
capabilities and physical job demands. - Identify individuals who have pre-existing injuries that adversely affect work performance
and limit their ability to perform essential job tasks safely. - Establish baseline levels of functional capacity for each worker for future reference to
reduce future rehabilitation and disability costs. - Reduce worker’s compensation costs.
- Improve worker productivity through the placement of workers into jobs in which they can
perform the physically demanding tasks efficiently without early onset of fatigue
There are three types of FCE performed:
