How do you make sure you are not pushed so hard you hurt yourself during a functional capacity evaluation test?
The assessor should not be pushing you at all. The assessor is there to observe and should be neutral, neither encouraging or criticising. The client should be told that the aim of the assessment is to see what he/she can do / is able to do / is prepared to do. The client should also be specifically instructed to "do your best but we do not expect you to hurt yourself and I [the assessor] will stop any test if you appear to be reaching your maximum or are doing tasks in an unsafe manner".
The assessor should have information about the client's job and what the physical demand level is. If the FCE is being done preparatory to returning to an existing job there is no point in going beyond the maximum physical demand level of that job.
The assessor should be a clinically experienced Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist and should be able towill recognise when a client has reached their safe maximum physical ability. Remember too that in some cases the client may have psychological issues such as catastrophisation or hypervigilance to their symptoms that will influence what the client's safe physical work ability is - even though the client may think otherwise.

What do they do in a functional capacity evaluation?
''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) or Work Capacity Evaluation. An evaluator skilled in Functional Capacity Evaluation will use a battery of standardized tests, designed around key factors that include diagnosis, impairment, pain and functional limitation, referral questions, and, in some instances, the case resolution goal. FCE's value to the injured individual is the focus on functional ability instead of the pain limitation associated with an impairment. It considers speed, flexibility, endurance, skill and strength through the use of functional testing, MTM, and standardized measurements to assess job-fit status. Functional Capacity Evaluation is not only a useful clinical tool, but a baseline for industry-standard results that clearly define an individual's transition from injury to employment, and from disability to deployment. Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is used by physicians, case managers, and employers to transition injured workers from disability to function and employment. FCE is the single most reliable measure to determine if a successful return-to-work is possible - as it is inherently a thorough and accurate evaluation process that documents an individual's residual physical abilities, level of effort expended during testing, reliability of reports of pain and limitation, and it is an overall gauge of feasibility for employment. In a vocational rehabilitation setting the results of Functional Capacity Evaluation are typically used to develop return-to-work plans, as the basis of an offer of alternative employment, or as the foundation for a feasibility development plan (work-focused rehabilitation); results are a sound framework for developing a Temporary Alternative Duty plan. In a military setting the results of the Functional Capacity Evaluation are used to evaluate progress as the injured soldier transitions back to the force in the usual and customary military occupational specialty (MOS) or to measure the physical ability to reintegrate into a new specialty. It can also be used in preparation for a medical evaluation board or in transition from active duty into Veterans Administration services. Functional Capacity Evaluation provides an important bridge from the impairment phase of medical evaluation to the disability recovery phase. While FCE provides documentation of impairment, it is best suited to the evaluation and amelioration of disability. Providing a means for a shift from the disability to vocational feasibility construct is an attainable goal with the use of FCE.
What is reflective evaluation in science teaching?
Reflective evaluation is when you look back over a lesson/series of lessons and analyse what went well and what needs improving. It is reflective if you manage to learn something from your evaluation of what strengths and areas of improvement there are. During the reflection you ask yourself questions e.g What went well? How could I improve upon the lesson? What would I change if I did the lesson again? etc. etc. The evaluation part is trying to establish how successful something was by thinking about the answers to the questions you ask yourself.
