Functional capacity evaluation (FCE)  is often used to assess a worker’s functional ability relevant to a specific job role.

This is used to help understand if the worker is safe to perform the job role and whether there may be any risks involved.

Following the assessment, a report is completed and this involves classifying the worker as low or high risk of injury.

Some of the areas of assessment include:

• Joint range of motion

• Muscular Strength

• Cardiovascular Fitness

• Balance

• Neurodynamics

• Manual Handling Capacity
