Objective
[edit | edit source]

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke is used to evaluate and measure recovery in post-stroke hemiplegic patients.

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

The FMA was designed to be used for patients with post-stroke hemiplegic patients of all ages

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

Equipment Required:

Tennis ball

  • A small spherical container
  • Reflex hammer
  • Quiet, private space with little distraction

Description:

Items are scored on a 3-point ordinal scale

0 = cannot perform
1 = performs partially
2 = performs fully

  • Maximum Score = 226 points
  • The Five domains assessed include:

Motor function (UE maximum score = 66; LE maximum score = 34)
Sensory function (maximum score = 24)
Balance (maximum score = 14)
Joint range of motion (maximum score = 44)
Joint pain (maximum score = 44)

  • Subscales can be administered without the using the full test

Reliability[edit | edit source]

Test-retest Reliability:

General Rehab Sample:

(Platz et al, 2005; n = 37 stroke, 14 MS, and 5 TBI patients; assessed twice within a 7 day interval, General Rehab Sample) [1]

  • Excellent Total Motor Score (ICC = 0.97)
  • Excellent Sensation (ICC = 0.81)
  • Excellent Passive Joint motion (ICC = 0.95)

Interrater/Intrarater Reliability:

Stroke:
(Duncan et al, 1983; n = 19; mean age = 56 (13) years; same PT rating on 3 occasions each 3 weeks apart; VA sample, Chronic Stroke) [2]
Interrater Reliability

Rating Domain Pearson's r
Excellent FMA total score r = 0.98-0.99
Excellent Upper Extremity r = 0.995 - 0.996
Excellent Lower Extremity r = 0.96
Excellent Sensation r = 0.95 - 0.96
