Method evidence record

Fugl-Meyer Assessment

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a comprehensive, clinician-administered scale measuring sensorimotor recovery and motor impairment in stroke patients. Developed by Fugl-Meyer and colleagues in 1975, FMA has become the gold standard outcome measure in stroke rehabilitation research and clinical practice for quantifying motor recovery in the upper extremity, lower extremity, balance, and sensation.
