- · Instruction on relevant history-taking/interviewing for FCE
- · Instruction on neuromusculoskeletal structural assessment
- · Didactic sessions on testing material handling abilities, dexterity/gripping/handling abilities, positional tolerance abilities, effort testing, administering self-reported outcome measures and observing for symptom behavior
- · Presentation from SK Workers’ Compensation Board will provide information & examples of what are referral source requirements for FCE report
- The in-person clinical component will include:
- · Practice in administering functional assessment components
- · Data collection & observations with assistance and guidance from instructors

Learner Outcomes
On completion of this course the participant will be able to:
