Clinical Examination (FAE)

Before any treatment commences, you are given a comprehensive Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE). We do this so both us and you understand exactly what ails you.

In our Functional Abilities Evaluation, we:  

  • Evaluate all muscles, joints, and posture in an objective and standardized manner, factoring in your age and medical history.
  • Measure your tolerance to carry out basis physical tasks such as standing, sitting, lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling, squatting, and other actions that inform us about your range of motion.
  • Assess your energy and endurance in regards to functional tasks.

This is performed with professionalism, care, and expertise and we are also able to answer any questions you may have in a simple and friendly manner.

Once this is done, we summarize the results and collate that with your medical history as applicable to your conditions. If applicable, we also:

  • Measure your ability to perform physical tasks specific to your job and occupation.
  • Perform a neurological assessment in the case of physical impairment or injury, and pain disorders that affect your cognitive abilities.

We also provide assessments for Assistive Devices, such as wheelchairs and mobility aids, through the Ministry of Health.
