Functional Capacity Evaluations Overview
A functional capacity evaluation is a 3-4 hour comprehensive physical assessment completed by FCE-certified professionals in order to measure an individual’s physical abilities or overall function. Sometimes a functional capacity evaluation is done to determine whether you can return to work, or it can be used to understand if a patient’s illness or injury affects their daily abilities.
The skilled group of physical and occupational therapists at Hattiesburg Clinic are specially trained in functional capacity evaluations and have six locations to better serve our patients.
