A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive assessment used to determine an individual's ability to perform work-related tasks. It measures physical and functional capabilities, including strength, endurance, and flexibility. FCEs are often utilized in rehabilitation settings to help guide treatment plans and return-to-work decisions. The evaluation typically involves a series of standardized tests and activities that simulate job demands. Results from an FCE can assist healthcare providers, employers, and insurance companies in understanding a person's functional limitations and potential for recovery, ensuring appropriate accommodations or interventions are made.
