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 determines 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.
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.
FCE system Guarantees:
- Easy to use.
- Widely accepted by insurance companies, physicians, and other referral sources.
- Easy to store, edit all data, and recall prior tests.
- Helpful with drop-down menus describing all protocols, system calibration, and set-up.
- Complete with FCE reports that automatically load into Microsoft Word with graphs, pictures, and summaries.
Arcon System Includes:
- Computerized hand and pinch gauge.
- Electronic goniometer.
- Dual range of motion inclinometers.
- Dynamic and isometric lifting system.
- Computerized heart rate monitor.
Testing Protocols Include:
- Dynamic lifting.
- Isometric testing extremities & back.
- Range of motion testing.
- Dexterity testing.
- Endurance testing.
- Activities of daily living.
- Functional movement and posture testing.
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 & 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 & 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.
