Functional Capacity Assessment
Ensure your staff are ready to return to work. 3DMind Solutions offers a Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) service that provides you with a better understanding of your employees’ ability to perform in their role. Vital after an injury, illness, or accident, these assessments offer a clearly benchmarked and easy-to-understand measurement of an employee’s job-readiness, helping you make a more informed decision about their capacity to return.
Delivered by experienced and qualified exercise physiologists and occupational therapists, our FCA program allows you to make staffing decisions more confidently. A comprehensive functional capacity evaluation can save you costs associated with lost productivity and additional recruitment, helping you keep your business functioning at maximum efficiency. A key component of an injury prevention program, an FCA also helps keep employees out of potentially dangerous situations that could result in an accident. Make the smarter choice for your business and your team by discussing your needs with 3DMS.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
An FCA is an objective measurement of a worker’s current physical capacity to perform standard physical activities. Useful during the hiring process to ensure that prospective staff can perform the job as required, but vital when an existing staff member has suffered an injury or condition, an FCA can be a major factor in your decision-making.
Using a series of standardised screening tools and evaluations, we simulate certain physical tasks common to the employee’s role, such as picking up a box of a certain weight, moving objects off a high shelf, and standing for prolonged periods. We measure their performance against the role’s requirements, helping you make an informed choice.
Every FCA we perform is accompanied by a full written report, detailing the employee’s injury history, current medical concerns, the precise nature of the work demands, and a measurement of their ability to meet these demands, alongside the assessor’s opinion and recommendations. Know in-depth what your staff are capable of before they’re put in a potentially dangerous situation with 3DMS.
