Functional Capacity Evaluation

The aim of a Functional capacity Evaluation (FCE) is to assess if the employee is fit to perform the tasks involved in their job role effectively without risk to themselves or others’ health and safety.

This assessment is used for complex cases in which a more thorough assessment is required than that offered within the standard Occupational Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation assessment, it’s also used to assess if a Manual Handling Workplace Assessment is needed.
