Workers’ Compensation

RETURN TO WORK.

Return to work with Workers’ Compensation rehabilitation from Park Sports PT. Worker’s Compensation can make it possible for you to rehabilitate and return to work if you have been injured in the workplace. Finding the right team to guide your rehabilitation is vital to a successful recovery. Our team at Park Sports Physical Therapy is comprised of licensed physical therapists with experience treating many types of work-related injuries and therapists with additional certification in Functional Capacity Evaluation.

FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATION

Park Sports Physical Therapy can provide a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) to help determine if an individual is physically ready to meet the demands of their job and work environment. A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a scientifically developed, objective process to measure a worker’s physical capabilities and endurance.

Performed by a licensed physical therapist.
The FCE is performed by a licensed Park Sports Physical Therapist who holds an additional certification in Functional Capacity Evaluation. Our certified functional evaluators utilize standardized, high-validity protocols that produce reliable, timely and trustworthy reports to the Worker’s Compensation client.

Goals of Functional Capacity Evaluation.

1. Determine patient’s current functional level and predict a probability of re-injury;
2. Provide concise, peer-reviewed reports to shed insight into the legal questions surrounding a particular case;
3. Define an individual’s parameters for safety that are job specific;
4. Provide information on the reliability of a client’s pain-reporting and physical effort.

Scientific Value.

Park Sports certified functional evaluators administer a Functional Capacity Evaluation that is reliability-tested, peer-reviewed and legally defensible.
