Determining an individual’s status for employment requires testing their functional abilities and any limitations thereto. Functional Abilities/Capacity Evaluations, often performed by a kinesiologist, are systematic full-day or multi-day assessments which objectively identify the client’s functional abilities and limitations based on range of motion, strength, dexterity and other measured performances. These are commonly used by insurance and employers to determine a safe return to work or vocational functional status. In medical legal proceedings, they are most beneficial and cost effective towards the end of a claim as they will reflect the claimant’s present abilities and limitations. These objective measurements can then be used to determine the cost of future care as well as vocational outcomes prior to trial or mediation.
