The major importance of FAE is to determine the capacity of the level of work you can perform after recovering from injury or accident. Every injury or accident has a different level of damage it can cause to your health and productivity. For some people, work injuries/accidents can cause lots of damage, making them incapable of returning to work and doing normal daily activities. Through functional capacity evaluation, your working ability can be determined, and any possible risk that might occur following your return to normal work will be clearly stated.
Functional capacity evaluation is used to identify any negative side effects such as disabilities or impairments and how your productivity may be affected when returning partially or fully to work duties. Furthermore, FCE also identifies job limitations that shouldn’t be trespassed to protect your current health and prevent any possibility of injury sooner or later.
