Why Choose Dynamic Arm & Hand Therapy for Your FCE?
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) are intended for medically stable workers who have not yet returned to work due to ongoing pain, weakness, or self-limiting behaviors. These evaluations provide a structured, objective assessment of functional abilities in relation to job demands.
Unlike traditional physical therapy and occupational therapy notes, which do not typically address work capacities or job-specific physical limitations, our FCEs are designed to deliver clear, objective data directly relevant to return-to-work decisions.
At Dynamic Arm & Hand Therapy, we provide FCEs that are thorough, objective, and focused on real-world functional performance to support safe return-to-work decisions.
