FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATION
Marc has used the WorkWell FCE protocol since 1999. He joined the WorkWell faculty team in 2006 and has shared his knowledge and instructed PTs, OTs and Kinesiologists throughout the US and Canada.
Based on the kinesiophysical approach to evaluation, Highland Park's comprehensive and objective FCE assesses a person’s ability to perform work-related tasks, noting of functional and physical abilities and limitations.
The purpose of an FCE is to stress a client's physical abilities to her or his safe maximum in order to accurately document observations regarding work tasks and activities of daily living. It should describe full function of the client, as well as limitations, so re-injury can be prevented. The client is educated regarding her or his own abilities and limitations.
FCE is an integral part of the return-to-work process and forms a medical basis for return-to-work decisions.
IMPAIRMENT RATING CALCULATION
Client's are evaluated with strict adherence to the American Medical Association's 5th and 6th Edition of Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment.
Impairment rating calculations and recommendations are based on a review of all pertinent medical records, detailed client history interview and all necessary tests and measures are taken utilizing standardized evaluation methods and procedures as prescribed by the AMA.
The final impairment rating report includes all calculations and references to the "Guides", which were utilized to calculate the recommended impairment rating.
