Quantitative Functional Capacity Evaluation: QFCE

Interest in outcomes assessment (OA) and functional testing is growing because physicians, insurance companies, medico-legal reviewers and managed care organizations are demanding a way to objectify patient status and document patient progress during the course of treatment. The QFCE represents an objective method used to measure a change in a patient's current or future health status that can be attributed to antecedent health care. This instrument is also capable of measuring treatment effectiveness regardless of methods utilized.
