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](/source/Trauma_(medicine)).[1] The FCI incorporates ten physical functions and gives each a numerical value on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 representing no limitations on a person's everyday function.[2][3][4]
