What is Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?
So what exactly is FCE ? | FCE or Functional Capacity Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of both clinical and functional tests that enable the accurate recording of any person’s ability to work and perform activities of daily life. Objective data, based on published research and validated against a large data base world-wide, ensures specific, accurate, reproducible and consistent results. Functional Capacity Evaluations are used as the industry standard in both plaintiff and defendant situations where the extent of the disability has to be verified or in a dispute resolution the validity of a claim upheld or queried.
Who Can We Help?
