functional capacity test results

[Guest guest]

I am including the results for my testing, can anyone shed some light on this

for me? I need to understand if the results are in my favor or not.

besides stating that I can do senentary work, this is what it stated:

This is per day:

Occasional (1-33%) (<2.5hrs) lifting floor to knuckle 10 lbs.

Knuckle to shoulder 15 lbs

Pushing (isometric) max. Weight 31.7 lbs

Carrying two handed distance 50 feet 20 lbs is what I can do

Pulling (isometric) max weight 25.4 lbs

Balancing

Standing

Walking

Kneeling

Crouching

Crawling

Frequent (34-66%) (2.5-5.5hrs)

Sitting

Reaching, overhead,desk level, floor level

Simple grasp, left and right

Firm grasp, left and right

Foot controls

NT ( don't know what that means) is for the fine motor.

And that my hand strength is well below average.

thanks, Teri

Teri,

From your FCT, it appears that the pushing, pulling, carrying,

lifting, etc. are what you CAN do, and it means you can still work, in

other words, like the report said. But it looks like you may have

some 'time limits' within work; but because you can work, this does

not qualify you for Disability Benefits under the SSA rules.
