 Functional Capacity Evaluations
A Functional Capacity Evaluation or Physical Assessment Evaluation determines the patient's physical abilities and measures all physical demand levels.
 Functional Capacity Evaluations measure the patient's physical demand levels with regards to walking, balance, crawling, finger dexterity, eye-hand-foot coordination, the ability to carry, stoop, kneel, handle, feel, pull, crouch, reach, use tools, sit and stand, and range of motion.
MET technology is unsurpassed in simulating job demands, from measuring functional capacity to organizing a program for return-to-work. Each patient is tested in an objective manner to provide you with reliable data for use in determining treatment, therapy, or return-to-work status. This data will be supplied to you in a comprehensive report format that provides for easy interpretation. Testing protocols are supported by peer reviewed published studies to insure supportable data for use in all applications and to provide a standardized testing platform for all patients.
