functional capacity evaluation

1/17/2019

 
We've written extensively on our blog regarding functional capacity evaluations (FCE).  The first thing to remember is that all FCEs are not the same.  Prior-method testing was too open to subjective manipulation.  A new testing method has been developed that uses a repeated-measures protocol.    This approach has proven much more accurate, sensitive, and valid in determining sincerity of effort.  
It is also fully supported by multiple studies.  Find those studies here:
