Functional Capacity Evaluations

Functional Capacity Evaluation Service

These are undertaken by Mr Michael Foote who is an Exercise Physiologist of twenty-six years’ experience. These assessments are an assessment of a person’s physical capacities, for example, the ranges of motion in their joints, their strength, their agility, their balance, their cardiovascular fitness, core stability and lifting capacity. In a pre employment situation these factors are assessed in comparison to the genuine occupational requirements of a particular job.

They are also extremely important in the rehabilitation of injured workers where the Functional Capacity Evaluation is used to establish a person’s current abilities allowing an accurate prescription of suitable duties for that person’s  return to the workforce.
