| FUNCTIONAL
CAPACITY EVALUATIONS
The ACADIA Functional Capacity Evaluation (F.C.E.) is a
multifaceted assessment designed to determine the extent
of an individual's physical ability to perform specific
tasks. The F.C.E. identifies the individual's readiness
to return to work or sport as well as the individual's readiness
to participate in a work hardening program; his/her need
for job modifications or for vocational retraining. The
Functional Capacity Evaluation is performed by our Physical
Therapist and consists of the following modular system of
testing:
a. Musculoskeletal Evaluation
b. Static Strength Testing
c. Maximum Effort Dynamic Testing
d. Fatigue Testing
e. Cumulative Trauma Testing
f. Physical Demand Level Testing
g. Endurance Projections
h. Fitness Testing
I. Non-Material Handling Activities
j. Hand Testing
k. Ergonomic Evaluations
Upon completion of the evaluation, a concise
written report is presented which includes results of all
tests performed, validity of tests and objective measurements
of the individual's maximal physical abilities.
