The FCE is a performance-based assessment that measures a worker's ability to meet a job's physical and cognitive requirements.
FCE provides valuable data on what a worker can and cannot do, making it a more accurate and objective measure of an individual's capacity to complete tasks. Dr. Sumner believes that this data helps interested parties in a worker's compensation case - treating physicians, insurance adjusters, claimants, and claimant's attorneys - defend or dispute the injured employee's future work capacity and medical care.
In addition, FCE can identify any physical or cognitive limitations that may affect the employee's ability to perform their job effectively and safely.
At Lawson Clinic, we understand the importance of FCE in ensuring workplace safety and productivity. That's why we offer comprehensive functional capacity examinations that evaluate employees' and prospective hires' physical and mental capabilities.
Our evaluations help you match the right person to the right job, reducing the risk of injury and improving productivity.

Dr. Robert Sumner, an experienced physical therapist with years of experience conducting FCEs, emphasizes the importance of data in this process.
As Dr. Sumner explains, the data gathered during an FCE contributes to the decision-making process and is a vital piece of the puzzle. While it may not be the deciding factor, it provides valuable, productive information.
