Functional capacity assessments evaluate an individual’s ability to perform general activities within their home and work environment. These assessments are particularly useful for individuals facing challenges due to various conditions, such as neurological disorders, musculoskeletal issues, psychological concerns, degenerative diseases, or just the natural ageing process.
A functional capacity evaluation aims to identify the specific areas where an individual may need support or adaptations, ensuring they can continue to function as independently as possible in their day-to-day life and whilst in the work environment. The report allows suggestions to be made for adaptions or clears them to perform their usual duties.
