Objective Assessments for Safer Work Decisions

Midtown Occupational Health offers Functional Capacity Exams (FCEs) to help employers, case managers, and individuals make informed decisions about return-to-work readiness, disability status, and long-term capabilities. Our FCEs provide a thorough, objective evaluation of physical abilities following an injury, illness, or surgery following Colorado DOWC FCE guidelines

FCEs are ideal for verifying work capacity, guiding rehabilitation, and reducing the risk of re-injury.

What is a Functional Capacity Exam?

An FCE is a comprehensive, standardized series of physical tests that assess:

Strength and endurance
Range of motion
Postural tolerances (e.g., sitting, standing, walking)
Lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling ability
Functional activities related to work demands
Cognitive and fatigue testing

Our FCEs are performed by experienced therapists who understand both clinical rehabilitation and occupational requirements.

Who Should Get an FCE?

Employees may be required to get an FCE for various reasons:

Injured workers preparing to return to duty
If employers require objective return-to-work assessments
When insurance carriers are seeking documentation for claims decisions
As requested by attorneys involved in workers’ compensation, personal injury, or disability cases
COVID
Neurological Illness
