A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive assessment of an individual's physical abilities and limitations in relation to work demands. FCEs are used to determine safe work capacity, establish restrictions, evaluate disability claims, and guide return-to-work decisions.
The evaluation includes standardized testing of strength, endurance, flexibility, and functional abilities like lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. Results are compared to job demands to determine what work the individual can safely perform.
BlueHive coordinates FCEs through certified evaluators who conduct objective, reliable assessments that can support medical, legal, and employment decisions.
