TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Standardized evaluation of work capacity JO - Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation A1 - Matheson, L. N. A1 - Mooney, V. A1 - Grant, J. E. A1 - Leggett, S. A1 - Kenny, K. SP - 249 EP - 264 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - A standardized method of evaluation of the work capacity of persons who are impaired by soft-tissue injuries is described. A demonstration project which involved testing 64 impaired subjects is described. The Cal-FCP test battery can be administered independently by a properly trained professional or by a technician under a physician's supervision and requires two hours or less to complete. This study demonstrated that the results of the test battery are unbiased in terms of both gender and age and can be applied to a standardized disability rating system.
