Functional Capacity Evaluation Videos

Below are videos that are intended to further assist Matheson graduates or FCE equipment owners. You will find videos that show the lifting, dexterity and range-of-motion protocols that are used with the Matheson Integrated Lift Evaluation System (MILES) and Matheson Dexterity and Range of Motion Panel System (MPS). You will also find a cardio-respiratory Step Test video as well as Grip and Rapid Exchange Grip (REG) testing videos using both an isometric grip dynamometer (Jamar) and an electronic grip dynamometer. (Grip/REG testing and heart rate analysis of the Step Test are also used in an FCE to estimate a client's level of Physical Effort.)

The videos show how the tests are performed and administered. At the end of most of the videos, the FCE evaluator (Christina Howe - Matheson instructor) will make comments and note any important observations regarding the way the client performed the test.

If you are interested in purchasing any of this equipment or would like to request a quote, it can be found in our products section. To combine the lifting and dexterity protocols, please see our different package combinations in our packages section. For questions please call the office at 1-800-443-7690 or 603-358-6525 and we will gladly assist you.
