Title: Functional Capacity Evaluation
Headings: 

Content: b) after a person has been on disability, to determine if functional status has changed; c) prior to vocational retraining; d) in conjuction with a physician’s independent medical examination (IME); or
e) before court cases for motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) or personal injury. FCE at SELECTIVE REHAB: SELECTIVE REHAB address three critical components to formulate a determination of an individual’s current functional ability levels: 1) An assessment of clinical function, to include diagnostic-specific deficits such as range of motion (ROM), strength, neurological dysunction, and stability. 2) An assessment of functional ability, to include lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling, as well as positional tolerances such as walking, sitting, standing, bending, reaching, and hand function. 3) An assessment of functional work tolerances. These are the factors that identify the individual’s tolerance to perform functional tasks and job-specific activities.
