Functional Capacity Evaluation

Comprehensive evaluations designed to assess physical abilities, movement function, work readiness, and overall functional performance following injury or rehabilitation.

After an injury or medical condition, it’s important to understand how physical limitations may affect work activities, daily movement, and overall functional performance. At Physical Therapy Clinic of Paris, our Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) provide objective assessments designed to measure strength, mobility, endurance, physical tolerance, and job-related movement abilities.

Our evaluations help patients, employers, physicians, case managers, and insurance providers better understand current physical capabilities while supporting safe recovery and return-to-work planning.

What Is A Functional Capacity Evaluation?

Objective Testing Designed To Measure Physical Function & Work Readiness

A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment used to evaluate an individual’s physical abilities, movement limitations, endurance, strength, balance, mobility, and ability to safely perform job-related tasks.
