What is FCA?

Functional Capacity Assessment

Complex neurological injury of the upper limb
We saw a gentleman after a motorbike accident who sustained a severe injury to his brachial plexus which rendered him unable to move his arm.

After a nerve transfer surgery, therapy involved helping the patient to prevent the development of joint and soft tissues contractures (stiffness).

After 3 months, the patient noticed that the subluxation in his affected shoulder was a lot less.  This directed our physiotherapist to start therapy towards working on active assisted movements. The arm has now become strong enough to exercise using BedEx (frictionless mats).

Our Occupational Therapist also worked with him on 1-handed strategies at the start to enable his independence.  As his arm movement improved, we worked on progressively re-introducing functional participation of the affected arm.
Improve Walking Pattern
We saw a gentleman who had no certain diagnosis but he walked with dropped feet and severely hyperextended (bowed backwards) knees.

We trained him using an electrical stimulation system to improve his hamstring and tibialis anterior activation to help improve his walking pattern and reduce pain which he has been experiencing in his knees.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
We started walking training with him using a forearm support wheeled frame.  My Rehab Team physiotherapist and assistant worked with him initially at a well-equipped rehabilitation gym run by MS Queensland.

Aquatic physiotherapy was an integral part of his program as well.  And now he walks to his local pool and gym using a single crutch.  We continued to help him improve the strength of his legs, thereby improving his mobility.

Subsequently, the Occupational Therapist and the Physiotherapist worked jointly on re-training the skills involved in returning to work again.

We are highly skilled to identify the main problems.  We saw a patient who was not long discharged from the hospital after a hip fracture.  Upon further assessment, it became apparent that the patient’s main problem was his Parkinsonism symptoms.

This led our working on improving his walking and overcoming problems such as the shuffling of his feet, freezing when walking through doorways and when making turns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Occupational Therapy help me?

Where can I receive Occupational Therapy services?

Do you support NDIS participants?

Yes, we support NDIS participants with therapy, assessments, Functional Capacity Assessments, and ongoing support aligned with your goals.

When may one request a Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)?
1.  To request for NDIS access 
 
2.  To review how best to utilise the support resources at the start of an NDIS plan. 
 
3. To review the support needs of a participant who may have experienced a change of situation:  a decline in function, loss of informal support, significant change in living environment, etc. 
Who can complete a FCA?

Typically, Occupational Therapists will complete an FCA.  For clients with a psychological condition, a psychologist often has a better appreciation of the relevant symptoms and their functional impact.  Therefore, our psychologist has effectively completed FCA and reports for these clients.  

How does a FCA capture one’s support needs?

A typical assessment involves the understanding of the individual’s capacity in the functional domains of communication, social interactions, self care or personal activities of daily living, self management or instrumental activities of daily living, mobility,  and learning.  Through interviews, observations, and the execution of standardised assessment tools, the assessor provides a clinical picture regarding the level of capacity or independence of an individual.  This enables the assessor to provide recommendations regarding the support needs of the individual.  Supports that are to be funded by the NDIS must meet the “Reasonable and Necessary” criteria.  For detailed explanation of this criteria, please visit NDIS’s website.

What does a FCA involve?
1.  A face-to-face assessment.
 
2. The completion of a number of standardised assessment questionnaires by the client and/or their nominee. 
 
The report takes around 4 weeks to complete.  It is usually around 20 pages long.  Upon completion, it will be submitted to the client and/or their nominee and the relevant stakeholders to review before finalising.  

Are you eligible for NDIS support?

My Rehab Team is a registered NDIS provider. We support participants funded through the NDIS, as well as individuals referred through care providers.
