WHY WORKWELL FCE TESTING
The Workwell Method for Functional Capacity Evaluation
Functional consistency is observed within specific pairs of activities.
For example:
1. Front carry
correlates with horizontal lift
2. Overhead lift correlates with overhead work
3. Repetitive squat correlates to floor-to-waist lift
4. Grip strength correlates to one handed carry

Functional Capacities Assessed:
Separate Job Exploration sheet providing a comparison between the critical
job demands based on submitted job analyses and the worker's functional
capacities. Job specific recommendations/accommodations are offered
when appropriate and necessary.
Information that segregates functional capacity based solely on the industrial injury from non-industrial conditions or contributing factors.
