Functional
Capacity Evaluation
|
|
The FCE is a medical test to
measure an employee’s function post-injury. The WorkSTEPS FCE is
designed to document existing impairment, prove consistency, and create
realistic objective treatment goals and return to work recommendations.
The WorkSTEPS FCE is also automated and includes criteria to evaluate
symptom magnification, inappropriate illness behavior, and validity of
performance. (This information is invaluable to objectively move the
patient through the system in a fair and timely manner.)

The employer is interested in a
(FCE) at the time of injury to determine severity and legitimacy. One
(FCE) is administered during rehabilitation to determine progress. And
a post rehabilitation test to determine the employees ability to return
to their job.
Functional Capacity testing is
essential to objectively streamiline the rehabilitation process and
save employers considerable time and money. FCE's should be performed
on all work related injuries.
