Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
In partnership with WorkWell, Stewart Physical Therapy offers a comprehensive functional test designed to objectively measure the maximum safe functional abilities of a client across a broad range of physical capabilities for recommendations for return to work/other activities and activities of daily living. The FCE is standardized with a flexible design which can be customized. With our Job Specific format, a functional test is designed to test Job Specific tasks. A Job Match Grid clearly identifies whether a client is able to perform the specific critical demands of the job. The FCE includes a 1-day 3 hour full body CORE FCE, UE, LE, 2-part FCE, as well as additional formats.
The WorkWell FCE is research/evidence based, with an international team of researchers dedicated to best practice. Please contact us for a Research compendium.
WorkWell’s FCE adheres to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) FCE Recommended Practice Guidelines. It is performed by PTs and OTs and is considered an evaluation.
PreWork Screens (PWS) and WorkFIT Return to Work Screens
WorkWell’s PWS and WorkFIT screens are functional tests to determine an individual’s ability to safely perform the physical requirements of a specific job. The PWS is used at time of hire, post offer/pre-hire. A WorkFIT screen is used to determine an injured employee’s ability to return to work following an injury or illness.
