    Functional Capacity Evaluation: What Palm Harbor Workers Need to Know

    A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an objective assessment of your physical abilities in relation to work demands. Our certified evaluators perform thorough FCEs.

    An FCE measures your ability to perform lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, sitting, standing, walking, bending, reaching, gripping, and climbing.

    FCEs are commonly requested for workers' compensation cases, return-to-work decisions, Social Security disability determinations, and legal proceedings. A typical FCE takes 4-6 hours.
