FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATION PAPERWORK
This is a very comprehensive series of tests, which includes testing for strength,
flexibility, lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying, bending and other work activities. This test
takes up to 6 hours so it is very important that you be here on time. Due to the length and
nature of the evaluation, we do not permit children, family members or acquaintances to
observe the evaluation. An interpreter is permitted.
We also strongly suggest you eat breakfast or lunch on the evaluation day. Please avoid
drinking any beverages containing caffeine (coffee, tea, soda) or smoking 2 hours prior to
the evaluation as this elevates blood pressure and heart rate. A resting heart rate and
blood pressure will be taken prior to the evaluation, and if the readings are too high, then
the evaluation will not be completed.
You should dress casually in loose fitting clothes and comfortable shoes, no sandals or
open-toed shoes or heels. If you are required to wear special shoes, clothes, tool belts,
etc., for your job, please bring these items with you to help us more accurately test to
your occupational demands.
Please take your medications as prescribed on the day of the evaluation.
Please be sure to bring a prescription from your physician, a copy of your medical
records and a job description if available.
You may be asked to read and complete a number of forms and questionnaires prior to or
during your evaluation. If you are unable to read or speak English please bring someone
with you who can interpret for you.
IMPORTANT: If you must cancel your appointment please do so no later than 24 hours
before your scheduled appointment. Failure to do so could result in a $200 cancellation
fee being charged.
Since the Functional Capacity Evaluation can be very strenuous it is important we know
of any heart conditions or problems prior to your participation in this evaluation. We ask
that you answer the following questions regarding heart disease and bring them to your
appointment. If you have answered yes to any of the questions, please contact the
location you have been scheduled at. Failure to do so could result in the cancellation of
your appointment. A positive response may require further physician approval before
your participation in the Functional Capacity Evaluation.
