Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
A functional capacity evaluation is used to objectively measure a client’s capacities and limitations. Our clinic uses an approach combining two renowned types of assessments in the field of work rehabilitation:
- BTE Technology System (Hanoun Medical System)
- Matheson Functional Capacity Evaluation
This type of evaluation assists in clarifying the functional limitations during the rehabilitation of a person following an accident, an injury, or an illness. The referral source obtains a detailed report of the person’s capacities and limitations, which may assist in planning a gradual return to work.
