I can do everything I used to do before my injury, (S2) also helped me realize I was doing the wrong movements when lifting, reaching or bending. Thanks to physical therapy, I am more aware of how I do things.

Finding a True, Safe Max - Promoting Workability
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an assessment that analyzes an individual’s return-to-work readiness by accurately replicating one’s work-related activities. Is he or she ready to return to work in the previous capacity, or do the physical work requirements for that individual need to be adjusted?
-
The FCE gives us these answers through an objective, evidence-based assessment.
-
It is founded on extensive research on both kinesiophysical and musculoskeletal movement of the human body.
-
It ascertains one’s ability to perform specific jobs or one’s workability to perform functions throughout the workday.
-
The resulting report is thorough, to the point and easy to comprehend.
​
Once this “return to work” evaluation is accomplished, the team (nurse, doctor, adjuster, and case manager) utilize the information in the document to determine what (if any) restrictions will be required or recommended when that worker returns to work.
The Spine Solutions FCE is a unique different and significantly effective tool for these reasons:
-
We highlight what workers can do to ensure a safe, efficient return to work.
-
Our FCE customizes assessments to measure endurance and performance in job-specific tasks like lifting, standing, walking, pulling, and reaching.
-
We adhere to best practices and HIPAA, providing essential return-to-work insights without compromising personal health information.
