Functional Capacity Evaluation.

Determine a worker's current physical ability to perform work duties, in order to help them return to work, or even gain new employment. Using a standardised activity-based approach (Matheson System) and focusing on abilities rather than limitations, this assessment identifies if the worker is able to match the demands of the job, in areas such as mobility, fitness, stamina, strength, agility, co-ordination and dexterity.

As Occupational Therapists we have the skills to conduct cognitive assessments, using standardised tools, in order to assess the workers ability to perform mental processes of thought such as visual processing, memory, problem solving or language. We can also perform dyslexia assessments in order to assess abilities and difficulties with tasks in the workplace.
