What does a functual capcity test consist of?
Functional Capacity Evaluation: A series of tests measuring physical strength, range of motion, stamina, and tolerance to functional activities, including lifting and carrying. These tests can be used to evaluate work tolerance, and the necessity for work restrictions. Related terms include Physical Capacities Evaluation (PCE) or Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA). Objective testing for work restrictions is most crucial in workers' compensation claims when employees, employers and physicians need to determine Return To Work (RTW) recommendations.
What tools are used to test human brain capacity?
Tools commonly used to test human brain capacity include neuroimaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans, cognitive assessments like the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), and memory tests such as the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). These tools can provide insight into specific cognitive functions, brain structure, and overall mental capacity.
Pulmonary Volume with its approximate value?

How does Functional Residual Capacity change during exercise?

Do they drug test on a functional capacity test?
No, if it is a functional capacity evaluation test then there should not be any drug testing. That is not the purpose of an FCE. They will probably ask you what kind of prescription medicines you are taking, if any, and possibly if you have had any prior drug or alcohol related treatment, but if so it will (or should) stay strictly within the medical records and not be shown to the employer. Medical information not related to the ability to perform the essential functions of a job should not be shared with an employer unless authorized by the client. Indergard vs. Georgia-Pacific made it very clear that a return to work, same job, same employer evaluation is judged by the EEOC interpretation of the ADA. Medical data can only be shared on a safety-based need to know basis.
What are some examples of functional fitness tests used to assess overall physical performance and functional movement abilities?

Im on workers comp the wc adjuster recommended i take a functional capacity test .Will it benefit an injured employee to take a functional capacity test y would the wc adjuster recommend i take this?
Due to insufficient knowledge of your individual case this is not a question that can be knowledgeably anwered here. That being said - consider this: If you turn down the recommendation, or fail to act on it, this could be viewed in an unfavorable light by the WC Board who might assume that you are not being cooperative in evaluating your own disability.
Which tissue have little to no functional regeneration capacity?
Cardiac muscle tissues have little to no functional regeneration capacity. Unlike other tissues in the body, cardiac muscle cells cannot effectively regenerate after injury, which is why heart damage from a heart attack can have lasting effects.
