Functional Capacity Evaluation

Helping You Return to Work Safely with Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)

Are you recovering from an injury or illness and unsure if you're ready to return to work safely? St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville offers Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) to assess your physical capabilities and determine your readiness to resume work duties.


What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?

An FCE is a comprehensive evaluation designed to measure your physical abilities in relation to the specific demands of your job. It helps determine your:

  • Strength and endurance
  • Range of motion
  • Balance and coordination
  • Functional limitations
  • Overall work tolerance


Who Can Benefit from a Functional Capacity Evaluation?

An FCE can benefit individuals in various situations, including:

  • Returning to work after an injury or illness:  An FCE helps assess your ability to perform your job duties safely and identify any limitations that may require modifications or accommodations.
  • Determining work capacity for disability claims: An FCE can provide objective data to support documentation for disability claims.
  • Pre-employment screening: Some employers may require an FCE for specific positions to ensure you can safely perform the job's physical demands.


What to Expect During a Functional Capacity Evaluation at St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville:

  • Detailed History: Our therapists will gather information about your medical history, injury/illness, job description, and typical daily activities.
  • Physical Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation of your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and other physical abilities relevant to your work.
  • Functional Testing: You may perform simulated work tasks to assess your ability to perform essential job functions with safety and efficiency.
  • Report and Recommendations: Our therapists will generate a detailed report outlining your functional abilities, limitations, and recommendations for safe work return, potential modifications, or restrictions.


Benefits of a Functional Capacity Evaluation:

  • Objective Assessment: An FCE provides an objective and standardized evaluation of your physical capabilities, aiding decision-making regarding safe work return.
  • Improved Communication: The FCE report facilitates communication between you, your healthcare providers, and your employer to determine the best course of action for a safe return to work.
  • Reduced Risk of Re-injury: An FCE helps identify potential limitations and allows for recommendations for modifications or accommodations to prevent further injury.
  • Faster Return to Work: By objectively assessing your capabilities, an FCE may expedite your safe return to work and maintain your income.
  • Documentation for Disability Claims: An FCE report provides valuable documentation for disability claims, supporting your case with objective data.
