At Theramedic, we believe in empowering you with clarity and confidence as you heal. A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) helps assess your physical abilities after injury, illness, or surgery—and we’re here to guide you through every step. This evaluation shapes a safe, personalized plan so you can return to life or work with greater strength and certainty.
An FCE is like a personalized “fitness check” designed to measure your strength, endurance, flexibility, and ability to perform everyday tasks. Think of it as a tool to help answer important questions:

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition, an FCE helps:
Know your current physical strengths and limits to guide safe recovery.
Use clear results to shape a treatment or return-to-work plan that fits.
Get objective data to support insurance, legal, or workplace decisions.
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) address how injuries, chronic conditions, and recovery processes intersect with workplace demands to guide rehabilitation and accommodations.
Common conditions include herniated discs, joint replacements, and rotator cuff injuries. Often seen after accidents, repetitive strain, or major surgeries.
Such conditions can limit lifting, pushing, or overhead work, especially in physical jobs. They often require modified duties or phased return-to-work plans.
The FCE measures strength, endurance, and range of motion for safe task performance. It helps design personalized activity guidelines based on job demands.
Common conditions include stroke, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. These can result from progressive diseases, nerve damage, or chronic inflammatory conditions.
Such conditions can affect coordination, balance, and fine motor skills, as well as reduce stamina for extended periods of work. They may require flexible schedules, paced tasks, or ergonomic support to maintain productivity.
The FCE assesses neurological function, endurance, and pain tolerance to determine safe work capabilities. It also helps identify ergonomic and environmental modifications that minimize strain and improve task efficiency.
At Theramedic, we understand that every injury is unique. Our approach includes:
We treat the root, not just the symptoms—to restore movement, prevent setbacks, and build resilience.
