Functional Capacity Evaluations
← Back to Services
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a comprehensive, objective assessment of an individual's physical abilities as they relate to work demands, daily activities, or disability determination. Trivedi Care offers FCEs that are medically defensible, clearly documented, and conducted with the clinical depth that complex cases demand.

A comprehensive snapshot of overall physical capacity and positional tolerances, without reference to a specific job description.
Common Use Cases
- Baseline functional assessments
- Pre-employment screening programs
- Cases where job demands are not yet defined
Disability FCE
A rigorous evaluation designed to support disability determination processes. Includes objective measurements of functional limitations that documents a reliable, defensible baseline for legal, insurance, or administrative review.
