Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) - is designed to rapidly and accurately determine if a patient is able to work, and if so, work at what physical level. St. Luke’s Physical Therapy uses the widely accepted KEY Method to measure and quantify worker capability.

When to do an FCE:

• Before rehab to determine rehab needs
• After rehab to determine a safe return to work
• To complete a disability determination and define an individual’s employability
• Independent medical evaluations

The KEY Method at St. Luke’s Physical Therapy includes the following functional capacity assessments:

• Functional Whole Body
• Upper Extremity Whole Body
• Job-specific
• Functional Review
• Job Placement

Test Results – Reports and Documentation – Results are Objective and Predictable.
We report the results of the evaluation within 48 hours by phone/fax. A comprehensive written document detailing the results of each test and our recommendations is forwarded within 10 days.

Mobile – The Key Method is mobile. We can perform Assessment at all of our locations or at the Work Site
Notes: use pictures and graphs from power point long version

Follow-up Study on 100 Injured Workers Who Returned to Work After a KEY Assessment

• Injured workers were given a KEY functional assessment prior to returning to work.
• Returned to work at or below the level of physical demand recommended by the key assessment.
• Returned to work safely, only one was re-injured on the job.
