A type of assessment tool used for identifying if a person is capable of returning to his previous job responsibilities if ever he or she is caught in an accident causing physical injury is called a functional capacity evaluation. To measures a person’s physical capabilities, strengths, needs and weaknesses, companies do this kind of evaluation testing during their recruitment period. Physical therapists are the usual people conducting this kind of evaluation testing because they are able to identify if a person is capable of doing a specific job after having involved in an accident. Activities which will test one’s own strength and limit through lifting, pulling or pushing, squatting, activities regarding endurance or even work specific activities are Included in this evaluation testing. Identification of how much work can be done by a specific person and on what limits can he or she do is aided by this test and the results will primarily affect the level of work to be performed. Usually, this kind of evaluation is done through one activity after another with a few break or a small rest period which may cause a person to be exhausted in the middle of evaluation testing. Weaknesses and abilities are identified through this evaluation test and usually, weakness is identified as an instance of physical pain but usually, these pain maybe identified as a sensation and may differ from person to person. This evaluation test is one of the major way to actually tell if a person will be able to get back to work and is very useful and this evaluation test is really safe to test a person’s abilities. Some useful information like how to handle one’s own body in the course of working will be identified with this and a person will be able to know his or her own weaknesses and strengths through the help of therapists.
