My attorney had this appointment set up where it would also count as my independent medical exam. I only saw this neurosurgeon one time and he is now recommending that I have a functional capacity exam. Could someone explain to me the difference between an independent medical exam and a functional capacity exam and how you can have either when you don't even have a diagnosis?
I think also that there is also a testing procedure for FCEs?
usually done at a PT place??
while I was having PT yrs ago -another therapist was doing one on a client.
involved various activities similar to what a person would do on the job.
I think the guy was an electrician- so he used screwdrivers in various positions and odd angles and also did other hand wrist, arm twisting and tool uses.
they timed how long he could do those jobs and discomfort rating

there are a few threads here and on the workers comp forum here that mention FCE.
