Functional Capacity Evaluations
Functional capacity evaluations(FCE’s) are carried out by occupational therapists trained and experienced in the Matheson FCE system. They are an objective and customised assessment of the individual’s functional capabilities in terms of their mobility, fitness and stamina, effort, manual handling, symptoms and pain. A combination of observation, clinical reasoning and professional judgement is applied to establish an objective evaluation in relation to an individual’s capacity for work or against specific job requirements. This objective evaluation is presented in the form of an in-depth thorough report.
