Functional Capacity Evaluations

Functional Capacity Evaluations & Impairment Rating Evaluations

TRS Worksite Solutions provides Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) and Impairment Rating Evaluations performed by licensed Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists experienced in occupational health, injury management, and work-related functional testing.

Our evaluations are conducted in a purpose-designed occupational testing facility and provide objective, evidence-based data to support employers, physicians, case managers, workers' compensation carriers, attorneys, and injured workers.

Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)

A Functional Capacity Evaluation objectively measures an individual's current physical abilities and work-related functional tolerances.

FCEs may assist with:

  • Return-to-work decisions
  • Work restrictions and accommodations
  • Modified duty placement
  • Functional limitations following injury or surgery
  • Job-specific physical demand assessments
  • Disability and workers' compensation cases

TRS utilizes a structured, research-supported methodology that includes lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, postural tolerance testing, endurance assessment, and consistency-of-effort analysis. Our system evaluates more than 70 indicators related to functional performance and reliability.

Impairment Rating Evaluations

An Impairment Rating Evaluation provides objective measurements that assist physicians in determining permanent functional loss after an individual has reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).

Evaluations may include:

  • Range of motion testing
  • Strength assessment
  • Functional movement evaluation
  • Documentation of residual limitations
  • Review of relevant medical information

TRS provides objective measurements and clinical findings to support the physician's determination. The referring physician remains responsible for assigning and certifying the final impairment rating.
