A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a structured assessment that helps understand how physical abilities relate to daily tasks or job demands. It may assess lifting, walking, bending, and other movements to determine what an individual can safely manage in a typical day. FCEs can support return-to-work planning, identify areas needing rehabilitation, or help document limitations for legal or insurance purposes. The evaluation is often used following injury or illness to guide decision-making. At Turning Point Physiotherapy, Functional Capacity Evaluation may be part of the care process to help understand a person’s ability to perform regular activities or work duties.
