About Us
WE PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT REMOVES UNCERTAINTY
Using the ARCON Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) system, we provide information that removes uncertainty in disability claims, workplace injuries, and pre-employment screening. Our primary focus is to provide functional capacity evaluation reports that determine a person's physical ability to perform job-related tasks safely and effectively. Our functional capacity evaluation software and testing protocols were designed with the help of physical therapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, kinesiologists, and doctors of physical medicine. The ARCON functional capacity evaluation results are accepted by disability evaluators and insurance companies as an industry standard.
The Role of Functional Capacity Evaluation Equipment in Occupational Therapy
Functional capacity evaluation equipment plays a crucial role in occupational therapy by enabling therapists to accurately assess a patient's physical capabilities. We provide these specialized tools, which are designed to measure various aspects of functionality, including strength, endurance, and mobility.
Occupational therapists rely on functional capacity evaluation equipment to gather objective data about an individual's abilities and limitations. This information is vital in determining a patient's readiness to return to work or daily activities, as well as in identifying specific areas that require targeted intervention.

Tailored Treatment Plans with FCE Tools
By utilizing functional capacity evaluation equipment, therapists can create personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. For example, if an assessment reveals a limited range of motion, therapists can incorporate stretching exercises and functional tasks into their therapy plans. This tailored approach enhances the effectiveness of interventions and promotes patient engagement and motivation.
In summary, functional capacity evaluation equipment is indispensable in occupational therapy. It provides the necessary insights for therapists to devise comprehensive treatment strategies, ultimately helping patients achieve their functional goals and improve their quality of life.

WHY FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY EVALUATIONS?
SMARTER ARCON FCE
We think functional capacity evaluations should be accessible, reliable, and consistent. That's why we've created a system to make it easier.
GET REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS
VERIFIED FCE SOFTWARE
The ARCON FCE system substantially reduces measurement and calculation errors through control and monitoring by the FCE software, resulting in a high degree of accuracy. Strength measurements are accurate to the nearest pound or to 1% of the full scale. Angle measurements (goniometers and inclinometers) are accurate to the nearest degree.
The ARCON FCE software includes calibration procedures for each instrument and has an internal check to ensure that calibration is verified or performed on at least a bimonthly basis. The evaluator is alerted if measured values are unusually high or low so that equipment problems, while rare, can be quickly detected. By comparison, typical manual FCE systems may only have their tools calibrated once a year or less.
Injury Evaluations and Preventions
Pre-Employment Screenings
ARCON's primary focus is to assist doctors, therapists, and companies in their evaluation of an individual's functional capacity. The pre-employment screenings are a mutually beneficial process to protect the employer from costly worker compensation suits while the employee is protected from on-the-job injuries.
The ARCON FCE System we use today is an updated version of the original system the University of Michigan developed in the 1980s. They developed this technology when NASA asked them to develop a computer model that would calculate the stress placed on the human body from lifting.
Simple and Accurate Tools
User-Friendly FCE Hardware
The ARCON system is a user-friendly tool to help clinicians perform functional capacity evaluations (FCEs) in a simple, accurate, and consistent manner. The system produces high-quality evaluations by combining three critical components: the evaluation tools (hardware and software), the evaluation protocol, and a competently trained evaluator. These components work together to assure easily understood, reliable, and legally defensible results.
Static and dynamic measurements are made of the entire body's lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying capacities. An efficient and secure method for determining maximal strength in a range of work postures is static testing. In addition to being a physiological indicator of the client's effort throughout these exercises, heart rates are recorded during both static and dynamic lifting.
Why is ARCON Functional Capacity so popular?
ARCON Functional Capacity is known for our reputation for providing high-quality FCE software and hardware. Clients value the efficiency, reliability, and excellent customer service that we have to offer. Along with our advanced FCE software and FCE hardware to enhance the evaluation process, we are committed to continuous improvement to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the industry. At ARCON Functional Capacity, we know the importance of determining an individual's ability to return to work safely after injury, aiding in rehabilitation planning, and accurately assessing disability levels for insurance and legal purposes.
