FCE (Functional Capacity Evaluation)

A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive assessment used to measure a person's ability to perform work-related tasks and daily activities. Conducted by trained professionals, it evaluates physical strength, endurance, flexibility, and movement patterns to determine whether someone can return to work, needs modifications, or requires rehabilitation. The results help employers, healthcare providers, and patients make informed decisions about work readiness, accommodations, or ongoing treatment. Essentially, an FCE provides an objective profile of an individual's physical capabilities to support safe and effective return to their activities.
