What is a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)?
Objective evaluation of work-related physical and functional ability
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a structured assessment that measures an individual’s physical capabilities and functional performance in relation to specific job demands. These evaluations examine strength, endurance, mobility, and task performance, along with behavioral and effort-related factors.
FCEs provide objective data to help organizations determine work capacity, functional limitations, and readiness for job duties.
