Functional Capacity Evaluations

Work Modifications — Doctor Smiling in Lafayette, LA
A functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is a set of tests, practices and observations that are combined to determine the ability of the evaluated person to function in a variety of circumstances, most often employment, in an objective manner.
An FCE can be used to determine a patient’s ability to work following an extended period of medical leave. If an employee is unable to return to work, the FCE provides information on prognosis, help to identify changes to employee workload, or modifications to working conditions such as ergonomic measures.
