Was predictive validity of a job-specific FCE established?

Use of job-specific functional capacity evaluation to predict the return to work of patients with a distal radius fracture.

OBJECTIVE We examined the predictive validity of a job-specific functional capacity evaluation (FCE) in relation to the return to work of patients with a distal radius fracture. METHOD Return-to-work recommendations for 194 participants with a distal radius fracture were based on FCE performance.
