Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is the assessment of a patient's capacity to perform activities of daily living, work tasks, and functional objectives. FCE directs rehabilitation planning and return-to-work planning. FCE is performed by physiatrists and therapists with the purpose of ensuring safe, tailored interventions. Objective measurement enhances rehabilitation outcomes, enhances patient independence, and guides vocational planning.
Welcome to Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation 2026, where clinicians, therapists, researchers, and healthcare professionals come together to share innovations, foster collaboration, and advance rehabilitation practices, patient care, and evidence-based strategies for improved function and quality of life.
