Functional Capacity Assessments can be used to provide a comprehensive overview and understanding of an individual’s current state of physical ability and wellbeing. When conducting one of these assessments, our team utilise a range of measures and tools to review your mobility, strength, balance, gait, range of movement, ability to perform functional tasks, aerobic capacity and any other relevant safety concerns or lifestyle needs. Once completed, the results are recorded, and your physical capacity is compared against what is considered ‘normal’ for your age group and/or occupation.
The results of your Cairns Functional Capacity Assessment can be used for a variety of purposes. These include but are not limited to: provide evidence for those seeking legal compensation for workplace or motor vehicle injury; support funding applications to schemes such as NDIS; to determine if the individual being assessed is capable of satisfying the physical requirements of any particular role or employment opportunity; also, goal setting to enhance lifestyle and personal capabilities. Our team are experienced at providing thorough Cairns Functional Capacity Assessments.
The assessment itself generally takes 1-2 hours, which provides sufficient time for our team to thoroughly assess every task you need to perform within your day. From there, the report writing time varies, depending on the level of disability and presenting needs. Our team can also utilise specific workplace templates, to provide proof of ability to carry out workplace roles. In some instances, home visits may be needed, to enable us to see how you function in your home environment. While in clinic, we have a full range of gym and testing equipment available to provide objective data. Appointments can be booked by phoning 07 4231 9777 or ndis@wellnessembodiedcairns.com
