Functional Capacity Evaluations:
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) provides a comprehensive evaluation that measures strength, endurance, physical demand work level and positional tolerance. The data gathered through this test objectively defines the injured employees’s physical capabilities. The FCE is an important tool used to assist employers, physicians, insurance companies, attorneys, case managers, and vocational consultants to determine safe, functional levels for an individual to either return to work or to establish functional abilities.
This evaluation assists the referral sources by offering information for adjudication of claims in short/long term disability, provides return to work capabilities and determines ability levels for liability cases using standardized tests. Bolanos Associates utilizes the Matheson Functional Capacity Evaluation Method. For more information contact our office. These evaluations are completed at the site of employment. It is available through the Hialeah or Plantation Office.
