What Is a Functional Capacity Evaluation?

An FCE is a comprehensive, standardized assessment performed by a licensed physical therapist. It objectively measures an individual’s ability to perform work-related physical tasks including lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, standing, walking, bending, and positional tolerances.

Our evaluations typically take 4–6 hours and include:

• Musculoskeletal screening and baseline assessment
• Standardized strength and endurance testing
• Material handling tasks (lift, carry, push, pull)
• Positional tolerance testing (sitting, standing, walking, bending, kneeling)
• Grip and fine motor assessment
• Consistency of effort and validity testing
• Detailed written report with objective findings and work-level classification
