A functional capacity evaluation involves performing a series of simple, complex and varied tasks to detail what a worker’s abilities are. This is done at, or close to the time their condition is at maximum medical improvement/permanent and stationary.
Goals:
- Information to the involved parties to make employment decisions
- To determine if the injured worker can return to their pre-injury occupation
- To determine if the patient can perform a modified or alternate position
- To assure that the patient is providing maximum effort
- To assist in providing information to help to determine impairment ratings
- To detail activities of daily living (ADL) difficulties or limitations
Patient safety during the testing is most important. Cardiovascular monitoring, before and during the testing is required to assure consistent effort. The results need to be reliable and valid, with practical applications to utilize the information.
