ASSESSMENT LISTING
In Home & Worksite Analysis
In Home & Worksite Assessments provide practical recommendations for clients to reintegrate themselves effectively in their environment with an emphasis in returning clients to their pre-accident level of function in a safe, cost effective and expeditious manner.
Independent Living Assessments are an objective evaluation of the client's self-care and home environment tasks to determine their ability to function. IADL's are valuable in determining if a client is able to live independently.
In Home Assessments are used to evaluate the various tasks a client may have at home, and to what extent their injury may impair their ability to do so.
Worksite Evaluations provide objective information on the physical demands of the client's job. The results of such evaluations can be used to structure treatment and work simulation programs, as well as to make recommendations on work site modifications or work aides to assist the client in returning to work.

Functional Capacity Evaluation
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a quantitative method of assessing an individual’s measurable work capacity or, alternatively, the level at which the individual is able to function. The FCE matches the individual’s current performance levels to the demands of his/her normal pre-accident.
An FCE is recommended when you want to obtain accurate and quantified information regarding an individual’s work capacity for comparison to specific timed day or workday. The FCE as a tool is able to provide the simulated job stressors and tasks and provide you with accurate information on the individual’s tolerance that the person may have for their actual essential duties of daily living and/or occupation.
An FCE when used in conjunction with a Jobsite Analysis can compare the individual’s present physical abilities to their pre-accident job demands.
The report generated from the assessment will include the full Dictionary of Occupational Titles definition of the position of employment for comparison. This will also provide vocational levels of performance to your staff.

Functional Abilities Evaluations
The Functional Abilities Evaluation is a significant tool that can be used to make objective and reliable assessments of the individual’s condition. These assessments can be especially useful to employers when matching an employee to a position. When the employee’s abilities do not compliment the work environment; it can result in lost time and injuries. An FAE assesses the individual’s, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, cardiovascular condition, and functional tolerances of lifting, pushing, carrying, pulling and, as well as body mechanics
Fearless Driving Rehabilitation uses the ARCON system, a state-of-the-art system for conducting FAE’s. Using the ARCON system our evaluators perform clinical functional testing, including work simulation tasks.
FAE's provide the referral source with valuable information regarding a client's abilities, limitation, and return to work recommendations. An FAE performed by Fearless Driving Rehabilitation will include completion of the Vernon-Mior, Revised Oswestry questionnaires along with a pain diagram.
We offer four options when requiring an FAE:
- Post Offer Assessment
- Return to Work
- Baseline
- Benchmark
A Post Offer Assessment will help provide valuable information on the fitness level of the employee before starting a new position. The Post Offer Assessment also provides a baseline for possible future injuries to be compared to and confirms that the employee is physically capable of performing the essential duties of the position.
A Return to Work (RTW) evaluation will provide you with a report designed to determine whether an individual is capable of performing the tasks required of him/her as determined by his/her pre-accident or pre-trauma position of employment.
A Baseline evaluation will determine areas of functional weakness prior to initiating a treatment program. This allows the program to be customized to these weaknesses and excludes unnecessary procedures that may not be cost-effective.
A Benchmark evaluation is used in conjunction with the Baseline assessment to determine progress made during treatment.
In order to better suit your needs, our mobile functional assessment unit, coupled with a network of our own clinicians located throughout Ontario, allows us to provide our services nationally across major cities.
