Functional Capacity Evaluation

To our clients:

Your Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a one-day assessment which runs from 8:45 am to approximately 4:00 pm, unless otherwise indicated by your legal counsel. Time will be taken early in your testing day to explain the format of your evaluation and help you feel more comfortable. Safety will be emphasized and 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 4:00 pm (please arrive on time)
• Loose, comfortable clothing (bring running shoes; bring shorts if knee/ankle injury)
• Please do not change your medication regime prior to your testing day
• No caffeine or cigarettes one hour prior
• Please bring any adaptive aids you are currently using (ie. knee braces, wrist splints, etc.)
• If you are driving, there are two adjacent parking lots allowing full day parking
