Workplace Rehab Functional Capacity Evaluations
Functional Capacity Evaluation
Functional capacity evaluations assess an individual's ability to perform a number of functional tasks.
They include a comprehensive patient history, assessment of movement and strength, and evaluation of a number of functional activities (for example: walking, stairs, lifting, etc).
Information gathered during the assessment relates directly to functional tasks and can provide invaluable guidance in appropriate tasks for injured workers in the workplace.
Recommendations can be made with regards to appropriate tasks and limits for patients, useful equipment, or any further treatment that may assist the patient to move forwards.
