PCEs

A Physical Capacity Evaluation (PCE) is an all-encompassing term to describe the physical assessment of an individual's ability to perform work- related activity. It can also be known as a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE), Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA), Physical Capacity Assessment or Evaluation (PCA), or Work Capacity Assessment or Evaluation (WCA or WCE). A well-designed PCE should be comprehensive in terms of encompassing the physical demands of work as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT.)1, have standardized instructions and operational definitions, be practical regarding space and length of time for administration, be objective in minimizing examiner bias, and, most importantly, be reliable and valid.2 A PCE must also be administered with care for the patient's safety and well-being, with due diligence to minimize the chance for injury during the course of the evaluation.
There are two types of PCE’s;

• Psychophysiological – Worker is in control and performance is stopped when the worker believes maximum function has been reached.
• Kinesiophysiological – Therapist is in control and tasks are stopped when biomechanical signs of maximal effort are observed. Ensures the safety of the worker as the test is stopped prior to overexertion.
