industrial rehabilitation needs of the Injured
Worker
Our PINN Clinics are at least 5,000 square feet in

Functional Capacity Evaluation
Presented by:
Peoples Injury Network Northwest, (PINN)
Is “a process of measuring an individual’s
ability to dependably sustain performance in
response to broadly defined physical work
demands over time”




Evaluate current work tolerances and
potential work capacity
Provide information to help determine if an
individual can return to the usual
occupation or perform the work demands of
a new job being considered
If no vocational goals are established
provide guidelines related to the
individual’s physical capacities to assist
with the vocational exploration process
Assist the Medical Professional in
completing the Attending Physician Form
(APF)

Explain the purpose of the evaluation
◦ Collect reliable information
 Current physical and functional abilities as that relates
to vocational considerations
◦ Inform the client that they need to participate
with:
 High level of effort
 Reliability of Pain and Disability Report
 Do not perform any activity that they perceive to be
unsafe




Usually 1-2 days
Determine level of
physical effort and
reliability of pain and
disability report.
Evaluator must be
objective
Should answer the
referral sources
questions

First Level PCE◦ Limited evaluation primarily to measure
musculoskeletal components of a specific body part




Active range of motion
Motor Power Using the 5/5 scale
Sensation
No less than 45 minutes of actual patient contact
OAR 436-009-0070(4)(a)

Second Level PCE
◦ This evaluation is to measure general residual
function capacity to perform work or provide other
general information.
 Musculoskeletal evaluation
 To establish Residual Functional Capacities for claim
closure
 No less than two hours of patient contact
OAR 436-009-0070(4)(b)

Third Level PCE (WCE)◦ This is a Residual Functional Capacities evaluation.
 Musculoskeletal evaluation for a single body part
 Endurance
 Assess ability to perform essential physical functions
of the job based on a specific job analysis as related to
the accepted condition
 Assess ability to sustain activity over time
 Assess reliability of the evaluation findings
 No less than 4 hours of patient contact
OAR 436-009-0070(4)(c)

A Job Site Analysis is a detailed description of
the essential and non-essential job
tasks/functions and the relevant physical
demands to perform the essential and nonessential job tasks.
PCE should address the client’s
demonstrated physical and functional
tolerances in relation to essential job tasks
and required physical demands.

“Physical Effort Testing concerns to an

encountered testing procedures. This type of
testing is best evaluated via a multi-facted
approach under distraction based clinical
conditions. Results of such testing are not

Method-Time Measurement
– “is a procedure which analyzes any manual
operation or method into the basic motions
required to perform it and assigns to each motion a
predetermined time standard which is determined
by the nature of the motion and the conditions
under which the motion is made”

MTM - Based on
Industry standards
which are more
reliable in
determining
suitability to a job


Normative - Based
on a sample
population may be
biased by race,
gender
Percentile scores do
not necessarily
predict whether or
not someone meets
industry standards



Reliability and Validity
Assess the various diagnoses of the clients to
be seen
Can used assess the type of industry near the
clinic and the type of work performed
Can be used for evaluation or work

RPDR “involves completion of a battery of tests
designed to asses the dependability and
accuracy of a client’s subjective reports of pain
and associated disability. The battery includes
test which evaluate the presence or absence of
non-organic findings as well as tests which
compare a client’s subjective report to their
demonstrate ability through distraction- based
clinical observations.”




Use to obtain a subjective rating of perceived
ability to perform various household, work
and daily activities
Use for evaluation of client’s with a wide
variety of physical limitations
Evaluates “work function themes”
Evaluates “ unrealistic self-perception of
ability”

pain causes you to be unable to

you cannot use or move the painful
area, can’t talk, are tearful, need to
lie down


Performed during assessment of range of
motion, strength and movement patterns



Performed Pre and Post testing
Look for change in movement patterns in
comparison to reported pain and disability
Look for change in performance time in
comparison to reported pain and disability
“The acceptability of the worker in the general
sense i.e. worker traits and behaviors”
The person being evaluated perceives
themselves in the “worker role” and not in the
“patient” role.

•
Lack of attention to the evaluator
Resistance to testing - voiced refusal or
fearful of testing
Signs of Anger
Descriptions are too explicit or vague
No future goals or goals are simple with no
detail
Want a better doctor to “fix them”
Lack of active control of symptoms

Regional symptoms that do not make
anatomical sense

Inactive lifestyle or “couch potato”

Has others perform ADL’s/chores

Reinforcement of behaviors by others

Noncompliance

Length of time off work is extensive



Evaluate Physical effort and RPDR
Intervene and confront the evaluee in a
respectful manner to attempt to foster
physical effort and RPDR
Document the PCE to provide functional
validity.
