Functional Capacity Evaluation
To our clients:
Your Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is typically a one day assessment which runs from 8:45 am to approximately 4:30 pm, unless otherwise indicated by your legal counsel. You may also be asked to come in for a short follow-up the morning after your full day FCE. We, therefore, ask that you keep the morning available following your full day assessment. Time will be taken early in your testing day to explain the format of your evaluation. Regular breaks will be provided throughout your day. The intention of FCE testing is to work with you to more clearly and accurately document your functional abilities and specific limitations related to your injury.
Important points to remember...
- Time of Assessment: 8:45 am to 4:30 pm (the assessment must start on time in order to proceed due to the lengthy nature of testing)
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing (bring running shoes, bring shorts if knee/ankle injury, bring adaptive aids you are currently using such as any splints/braces)
- Please do not change your medication regime prior to your evaluation
- No caffeine or cigarettes one hour prior
- You may wish to have a friend or family member drop you off; however, they will not be able to stay with you for the entire assessment
