They are used commonly to determine ability for work, activities of daily living, or leisure activities. Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) was identified in America in the 1980s and was a response…

FCE Reliability & Validity
Reliability & Validity of Isokinetic Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE): Objectivity. Objectivity refers to the indication that the test measurements are relatively unbiased by either the participant or the evaluator. Objectivity in testing can be increased when the testing procedures and practices for observation and scoring are clearly defined and documented. In isokinetic testing this is assured…
