Return-To-Work PT Services
If you’ve been injured at work, had surgery or have a long-term condition that limits what you can do, an FCE test can help clarify what’s next. But what is an FCE test? A functional capacity evaluation is a detailed test that measures your physical abilities and safe limits — helping doctors, employers, insurance providers and legal teams understand your work readiness and what support you need.
At Advancing Movement with Physical Therapy (AMPT) in Houston, our licensed therapists provide thorough, unbiased FCE testing in a supportive setting. We know how important it is to get clear answers you can trust.
What Is A Functional Capacity Evaluation?
A functional capacity evaluation measures your strength, mobility, lifting power, endurance and ability to complete job-specific tasks. The test is designed to answer questions like:
- How much weight can you safely lift or carry?
- How long can you stand, walk or sit at a time?
- Are repetitive movements safe for you?
- What movements or tasks cause pain or risk?
Your FCE report can support a disability claim, help with legal cases or show your doctor exactly what your next steps should be. Some people get an FCE to prove they are ready to return to work safely after therapy.
Who Should Get An FCE Test?
A functional capacity evaluation is useful for:
- Injured workers planning to return to a physical job
- Employees who need updated clearance after surgery
- Individuals applying for long-term or short-term disability benefits
- Patients whose doctors need clear, objective measures of their physical abilities
When you’re looking for functional capacity evaluation, you want a clinic that understands how important these results are for your future. AMPT’s Houston team delivers clear, reliable results.
