An FCE is typically recommended for individuals who have sustained an injury or illness that has affected their ability to perform activities of daily living or work-related tasks. It is also used to assess an individual’s ability to return to work after an extended period of absence.
Most often, individuals are referred to us by an occupational health doctor, employer or insurance company.
An FCE gives an accurate, precise and detailed overview of specific functional limitations and strengths. This can help the physiotherapist (often in conjunction with a referring doctor) to develop an effective rehabilitation program tailored to the individual’s needs.
In our clinic, an FCE is most often used to help determine an individual’s readiness to return to work, and provide information that can be used to determine job accommodations or modifications.
