Functional Capacity Index
The Functional Capacity Index (FCI) is a measure of a person's level of function for the following 12 months after sustaining some form of illness or injury.[1] The FCI incorporates ten physical functions and gives each a numerical value on a scale of 0 to 1, with 1 representing no limitations on a person's everyday function.[2][3]
