Spaulding's Approach to Work Injury Rehabilitation

How do you know when you’re ready to go back to work?

Our goal as a leader in rehabilitative care is to make sure you are ready to safely return to work and reduce the risks of new or repeated workplace injuries. To determine this, our specially trained therapists will perform a Functional Capacity Evaluation.

Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)

A comprehensive assessment of your current abilities to perform work tasks, such as sitting, standing and walking. We’ll test your grip, ability to carry, push, pull and lift items. We’ll also see how you utilize tools and/or computer equipment, whichever is relevant to your occupation. These steps will help determine if you’re ready to safely return to work.
