FCE - Improve Safety with Functional Capacity Evaluations
Functional Capacity Evaluations or FCE'S are a fundamental component of many employer's safety programs. Work-site injuries negatively impact both production and profits. Physical therapy programs improve an employees function but how do you know if the employee is physically capable of retuning to work and back to their prior performance level?
Physicians, case managers or employers order an FCE as a means to transition an injured or post-surgical employee from disability to function and ultimately back to employment. Many Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists train extensively to provide Functional Capacity Evaluations as a part of the therapy programs offered. Rehabilitation through a structured and comprehensive industrial medicine program leads the injured worker through the therapeutic intervention and the FCE provides an analysis of reliable information about current functional status and future vocational performance expectations.

Positively impact your bottom line and have a safer work environment.
