How to Use This Calculator

Enter functional capacity evaluation result (%), job demand level (sedentary to heavy), and days off work.
Enter current pain level (0-10 numeric rating scale).
Read the return-to-work recommendation: 1 = not ready, 2 = modified duty, 3 = full duty.
Review estimated return-to-work timeline based on functional capacity and job demands.
Use results to develop a phased return-to-work plan with gradual demand escalation.

What each input means

Functional capacity (%): Functional capacity evaluation result (0-100%).
Job demand level (1-4): 1=sedentary, 2=light, 3=medium, 4=heavy physical demands.
Days off work: Number of days absent from work due to injury.
Pain level (0-10): Current pain level on numeric rating scale.

Recommendation (1-3): 1=not ready, 2=modified duty, 3=full duty.
Full duty ready (0/1): 1 = functional capacity meets job demands.
Modified duty capacity (%): Percentage of job demands the worker can perform.
Est. weeks to full duty: Estimated weeks until full duty return.
Chronicity risk (0-100): Risk of injury becoming chronic/long-term disability.
Max hours per day: Recommended maximum work hours per day.
