Functional Assessment Centre (FAC)
BMEC offers integrated services that combine comprehensive functional assessment screenings with intervention, using hardware equipment, software intelligence and highly-customised professional guidance from our staff to optimise the wellness and safety of all end-users.
Functional assessment screening is crucial as it objectively evaluates an individual’s ability to perform daily tasks, work-related duties, or sports-specific activities safely and effectively. It helps identify any limitations or deficiencies in physical function, guiding personalized interventions to improve overall functional capacity and reduce the risk of injuries or accidents.
The Functional Assessment and Capacity (FAC) system supports this process through performance measurement and ongoing improvement monitoring. It offers reliable tests that objectively measure a person’s functional level and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), as well as job-specific and sport-specific tasks, within a safe and consistent framework over a defined period of time.

Frequently Asked Questions about FAC
Are Functional Assessment Centre (FAC) and Physical Therapy Functional Capacity Evaluation (PT FCE) the same?
The Functional Assessment Centre (FAC) typically refers to a comprehensive facility or program that conducts various assessments to evaluate an individual’s functional abilities, often including but not limited to Physical Therapy Functional Capacity Evaluation (PT FCE). While PT FCE is a specific evaluation within the broader scope of functional assessment, FACs may offer a range of assessments tailored to different needs, such as occupational therapy evaluations, ergonomic assessments, and vocational rehabilitation services.
What is Physical Therapy Functional Capacity Evaluation (PT FCE)?
A Physical Therapy Functional Capacity Evaluation (PT FCE) is a comprehensive assessment aimed at determining an individual’s physical abilities and functional capacities, particularly in relation to their job duties. This evaluation involves a series of tests conducted over a period of six to eight hours, typically spread across two days, under the supervision of an occupational therapist or physical therapist.
During the FCE, participants are required to perform various tasks such as pulling, pushing, lifting, and other job-related activities. The therapist closely observes and records their performance to assess functional capabilities, activity endurance, and work tolerances. The results of the FCE provide valuable insights into an individual’s readiness to return to work or engage in specific activities.
How does physical therapy utilize functional assessments?
Functional assessment in physical therapy evaluates an individual’s functional level and capability to perform tasks reliably and safely over time. It serves as a reliable method to objectively assess a patient’s functional status and track progress during treatment. Additionally, it helps justify homebound status and can support discharge from physical therapy services when appropriate.
