CONT

Physicians are frequently involved in the assessment of impairment and disability as the treating physician, in consultation or as an independent medical examiner. The key elements of this assessment include a comprehensive clinical evaluation and appropriate standardized testing to establish the diagnosis, characterize the severity of impairment, and communicate the patient's abilities, restrictions, and need for accommodation. In some cases, a functional capacity evaluation performed by a physical or occupational therapist or a neuropsychological evaluation performed by a neuropsychologist may be required to further clarify the functional capacity of the patient.

CONT

La capacité fonctionnelle n'est pas une qualité simple que l'on peut évaluer par un test unique. Pour obtenir un impact mesurable sur la capacité fonctionnelle, il faut considérer une approche centrée sur les tâches de la vie quotidienne afin de maintenir un niveau optimal d'autonomie.
