Abstract:
This paper reviews the current status of functional capacity evaluations in the assessment of workers with low back pain. Conceptual and practical difficulties are discussed and a new model that we call Work Capacity Evaluation (WCE) is proposed. Specific reference is made to the role of the medical practitioner in the process of injury management.
