Objective
[edit | edit source]
The Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) is based on the Dynamic Gait Index (DGA) with three additional items. These items were added because there were noted to be difficult in people with vestibular disorders.

Intrarater reliability of the total FGA: ICC = 0.83

Validity[edit | edit source]
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
Dynamic Gait Index, the 4-item Dynamic Gait Index, and the Functional Gait Assessment show sufficient validity, responsiveness, and reliability for assessment of walking function in patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation, but the Functional Gait Assessment is recommended for its psychometric properties[2].
