KEY Method's FCA: The functional capacity assessment.

Isometric/Isokinetic assessments were KEY's main competition. However, these assessments were used and abused and the results that clinicians were getting weren't what they wanted. 8 hour day with lift, push, pull, in maximum amounts and in single planes was a bad foundation. Therapists understand: The activity should demonstrate "regular weight", Not EXTREMES. Designed: KEY Method the 4 hour to 2 day assessment.

FCA's are an objective way to measure someone's work capabilities: injured and uninjured.

The items that KEY has integrated into the FCA, equipment, methodologies, protocols and training, have changed the way clinicians think and do the functional capacity assessment.

This a four hour objective, statistically-based, functional assessment. The injured worker performs dynamic activities to determine safe capabilities for return-to-work.

No other evaluation produces assessment results as predictive as KEY's. Our yearly follow-up research surveys indicate a 99% success rate with injured workers who returned to work at levels equal to or less than the Assessment results. No other functional evaluation system today can claim this success rate. Recognized by the Department of Labor and Industry, the KEY Assessment is also in compliance with the EEOC, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and meets the standards set forth in the APTA Guidelines.
