WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR IME

Dear {{FullName}},

You have been scheduled for a Functional Abilities Evaluation on {{Date}} and {{Time}} {{TimeZone}} with {{AssessorName}}. This is a four to six-hour evaluation that focuses on major physical abilities related to strength, endurance, and flexibility. In preparing for your testing day, there are a few things to keep in mind:


  1. Please clear your schedule to allow you to participate in this evaluation with no interruptions for other scheduled appointments.
  2. Wear comfortable clothing. Please do not wear clothing that might restrict your movement. Shorts and a t-shirt or tank top are preferred. Wear shoes with covered toes and heels.
  3. Please remember to take any prescribed medication as scheduled; however, pain medication could skew the picture of your actual ability by masking your pain. We suggest that you refrain from taking non-prescription pain medication prior to the evaluation, if possible unless otherwise directed by your physician.
  4. If you wear glasses for reading, please remember to bring them with you as you will be doing paperwork and performing some fine dexterity tasks.
  5. Avoid the consumption of alcohol the night prior to your evaluation. Avoid caffeine on the day of your evaluation. It is recommended you bring a water bottle.
  6. Get a good night's rest the night before your test.
  7. Please silence your cell phone during the testing day to avoid interruptions.
  8. Please do not bring children to the appointment.
We look forward to meeting with you and completing your assessment at {{ClinicAddress}}.
