Why is standardization of an FCE test necessary?
Standardization is necessary for the protection of the patient and to limit your professional liability. If an injury occurs during a nonstandard FCE, it is difficult for the professional to provide an adequate defense. This can ruin a professional career. Injuries are much less likely to occur during a standardized FCE that has been peer-reviewed for safety, like the EPIC Lift Capacity. The EPIC Lift Capacity is in use in hundreds of clinics in the U.S. and Canada, with no reports of injuries.
