Functional Abilities Evaluation

A Functional Abilities Evaluation is an assessment that utilizes scientific principles and measurements to analyze the abilities of a specific individual relevant to their pre-injury level of function. Results are then used to aid in direction of clinical treatment, return to activities of daily living, return to work and work conditioning plans / programs.  Furthermore, the data is used to identify tasks, environments and equipment that present barriers to recovery and restoration of functional capacity. The test procedures vary from client to client dependent upon their functional requirements and their type of injury.
