South African occupational therapists have been involved in the delivery of work practice services since the inception of the profession in this country. Initial development in this area of practice appeared slow but following the acceptance of South Africa's first democratic Constitution in 1996, many opportunities for service delivery were facilitated by the implementation of disability equity legislation. One of the key services offered by practitioners is Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE). Although the outcomes of FCE are many, the process in essentially the same. This entails: referral, the initial interview, evaluation of performance components and ADL, vocational evaluation, obtaining collateral and the closure interview, the work visit, hypothesis testing and reporting. This article reports on the Functional Capacity Evaluation process as followed by South African occupational therapists in various contexts.
自职业治疗专业在南非创立以来，南非的职业治疗师就一直参与工作实践服务的提供。该实践领域的初步发展似乎较为缓慢，但在1996年南非首部民主宪法获得通过后，残疾平等立法的实施为服务提供创造了许多机会。从业者提供的关键服务之一是功能能力评估（FCE）。尽管FCE的结果多种多样，但其流程基本相同。这包括：转诊、初次面谈、对表现成分和日常生活活动的评估、职业评估、获取旁证及结束面谈、工作考察、假设检验和报告。本文报道了南非职业治疗师在不同情况下所遵循的功能能力评估流程。
