Functional capacity evaluation

A functional capacity evaluation measures abilities such as lifting, carrying, movement and endurance, and compares them with the demands of the job.

What it involves

• Structured testing of physical abilities
• Comparison with the demands of the role
• Clear findings to support return-to-work decisions
• A report for the worker, employer and treating team

Who it helps

Workers whose capacity is unclear, and doctors, employers and insurers who need objective information.
