Non-Specific Patient Population

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:
1) Motor function (UE maximum score = 66; LE maximum score = 34)
2) Sensory function (maximum score = 24)
3) Balance (maximum score = 14)
4) Joint range of motion (maximum score = 44)
5) Joint pain (maximum score = 44)
Subscales can be administered without the?using the full?test.
Modified (abbreviated) versions have been developed (Hsueh et al, 2008).

Considerations

Limitations: (Gladstone et al, 2002)

The Sensation, Balance, Joint Range of Motion and Joint Pain domains have been criticized as less well suited for this instrument given its intended purpose
Joint Range of Motion may be a confounding variable, so the inclusion of the Joint Pain domain may be unnecessary
Distal fine motor functions may be underrepresented
Finger movement not assessed (but gross hand function is included)
Arm scores are more heavily weighted than the leg scores
Better measure of balance are now available
Inclusion of subjective items on the Sensation and Joint Pain domains may reduce the measures reliability
The Sensory Scale��s psychometric properties suggest that is should NOT be used to assess stroke patients (Lin et al, 2004)

Internal Consistency

Stroke:

(Lin et al, 2004; n = 176; mean age = 67.9 (10.9) years; assessed 14, 30, 90 and 180 days after stroke, Acute Stroke)

Excellent internal consistency: alpha = 0.94 to 0.98 across 4 administrations

Criterion Validity (Predictive/Concurrent)

Stroke:

(Malouin et al, 1994; n = 32; mean age = 60; mean time since stroke = 64.5 days, Acute Stroke)

Excellent FMA & Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) total score correlations (r = 0.96)
Poor FMA & MAS sitting balance item correlations (r = -0.10)
Motor and sensory FMA scores 5 days post-stroke were the strongest predictor of motor recovery 6 months post-stroke (Duncan et al, 1992)

Gait Speed (Nadeau et al, 1999; n = 16; mean age = 47.9 (15.6) years; mean number of months post-stroke = 43.9, Chronic Stroke)

Poor correlations between FMA Sensation and Gait speed (r = 0.05) and comfort (r = 0.14)
Excellent correlations between FMA total motor scores and gait speed (m = 1.09 meter per second; r = 0.61); and comfort (m = 0.76 meters per second; r = 0.61)

(Page SJ et al, 2015; n=32, mean age=57(10) years, chronic stroke patients with moderately impaired UE function)

Excellent correlations between Wrist and Hand Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer (w/h UE FM) and the Action ��B�о�Ժ Arm Test across two trials: (r = 0.74) and (r = 0.67)

See et al, 2013; n=12 .These exams were performed on 12 patients (of the cohort of 31 described under Reliability testing above), 4 separate visits across a treatment period, for a total of 48 exams. Testing was conducted on the UE FMA only. Performance for the total UE FMA, proximal arm subsection, and distal arm (wrist/hand) were examined separately.

Test	Baseline Value	Correlation with UE FMA Total Score	Correlation with UE FMA Proximal Score	Correlation with UE FMA Hand/Wrist Subscore
Max. Grip force, affected/nonaffected	0.29��0.22	0.74	0.73	0.73
Max. Pinch force, affected/nonaffected	0.40��0.30	0.88	0.87	0.85
Box & Blocks (no. Of blocks)	0 (0-29)	0.86	0.79	0.88
ARAT score	27.2��22.5	0.93	0.88	0.89
9-hole peg (no. Of pegs placed)	0 (0-7)	0.75	0.64	0.80
SIS hand subscore	2.3��1.3	0.86	0.79	0.88

ARAT = Action ��B�о�Ժ Arm Test; SIS = Stroke Impact Scale. Baseline values are mean �� SD except for Box & Blocks and 9-hole peg scores, which are median. Correlation values are Spearman r values which in all cases were significant with p < 0.0001.

(Wei et al, 2011; n=27 with chronic stroke (4.92��0.45 yrs post-stroke)

Excellent correlations were observed both pre-training and post-training among the Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment , the Motor Status Scale and the Action ��B�о�Ժ Arm Test (��=0.91-0.93). Modified Ashworth Scale and the UE FMA were fairly to moderately correlated (��=0.40-0.62)

Construct Validity

Acute Stroke:

Excellent correlation: modified Balance Subscale on FMA and the Barthel Index; r = 0.86 - 0.89 (Mao et al, 2002)
Excellent correlation: FMA and Functional Independence Measures (FIM) administered to 172 inpatients who had recently had a stoke; r = 0.63 (Shelton et al, 2000)
FMA effectively distinguished between three levels of self care (Independent, Partly Dependant, and Dependant) in a sample of 109 recent (< 90 days) stroke survivors (Bernspang et al, 1987).
FMA was a better measure of higher-level recovery than the MAS (Malouin, et al, 1994)

Chronic Stroke

(Dettmann et al, 1987; n = 15; mean age = 64 years; mean time since stroke, 2 years, Chronic Stroke)

The FMA and the Barthel Index were used to assess a group of 15 participants at an average of 2 years post stroke. Correlations between the measures were excellent (r = 0.67). The strongest correlations were observed in the Balance subscore (r = 0.76) the Upper Extremitysubscore of the motor domain (r = 0.75) and FMA Motor total score (r = 0.74)

(Hsieh et al, 2009; onset > 6 months, Chronic Stroke)

FMA Construct Validity (Spearman's rho followed by 95% CI)

Excellent pre-treatment correlation between FMA and Action ��B�о�Ժ Arm Test: 0.73** (0.58, 0.83)
Excellent pre-treatment correlation between FMA and Wolf Motor Function Test-TIME: 0.76** (0.63, 0.86)
Excellent pre-treatment correlation between FMA and Wolf Motor Function Test-Functional Ability Scale: 0.71** (0.56, 0.82)
Adequate pre-treatment correlation between the FMA and FIM-motor: 0.49** (0.27, 0.66)

*P < 0.05
**P < 0.01

Excellent post-treatment correlation between FMA and Action ��B�о�Ժ Arm Test: 0.74** (0.60, 0.84)
Excellent post -treatment correlation between FMA and Wolf Motor Function Test-TIME: 0.71** (0.56, 0.82)
Excellent post -treatment correlation between FMA and Wolf Motor Function Test-Functional Ability Scale: 0.51** (0.29, 0.68)
Adequate post -treatment correlation between the FMA and FIM-motor: 0.42** (0.18, 0.62)

*P < 0.05
**P < 0.01

Content Validity

Stroke:

(Woodbury et al, 2008; n = 377; men age = 69.2 (11.2) years, Acute Stroke) Upper extremity (modified version, 3 reflex items removed)

Administered at admission and 6-months post stroke
Rasch Analysis demonstrated adequate fit for each of the 30 items except the hook grasp item
Results suggest items contained in modified FMA, (except the hook grasp item) were assessing the same underlying construct

(Crow et al, 2008; n = 62; retrospective analysis, Chronic Stroke) Upper and lower-extremity (excluding balance) portions of FMA:

Items within a scale are valid, unidimensional and cumulative
Results suggest that if a patient is able to successfully complete an item of a certain difficulty, that same patient should be able to complete less difficult items, implying that a shortened administration of the FMA may produce valid results

Floor/Ceiling Effects

Stroke:

(Lin et al, 2004, Acute Stroke)

Ceiling effects have been observed with the Sensation subscore. The following percentages of acute stroke patients reaching the highest possible score:

Days Post Stroke	% Highest Possible Score
14-30 days	44.4%
14-180 days	72.1%
30-90 days	48.9%
90-180 days	48.9%
90-180 days	62.7%

Floor effects have been reported for the modified Balance domain. The strongest effects were observed 14 days post stroke with 29.3% of participants not able to achieve the lowest possible score on the measure (Mao et al, 2002)Possible ceiling effects on hand and lower extremity items (Gladstone, et al, 2002).

Responsiveness

Stroke:

(Mao et al, 2002, Acute Stroke)

Excellent on the modified version of the FMA Balance score
- Between assessments at 14, 30, 90 and 180 days post-stroke
- Responsiveness decreased as the time between stroke and assessments increased

Moderate to Low: (Lin et al, 2004) responsiveness was found for the Sensation subscale of the FMA as assessed by Standardized Response Means (SRM).

Means were low at:
- 14-30 days: SRM = 0.42
- 30-90 days: SRM = 0.43
- 90-180 days: SRM = 0.27
Moderate responsiveness when assessed from 14 to 180 days (SRM = 0.67)

(Hsueh et al, 2009, Chronic Stroke)

Small to moderate effect sizes were observed on the FMA, the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement instrument (STREAM) and each of the measures shortened versions.
Moderate effect sizes on the shortened version of both measures (0.53 and 0.51)
Small effect sizes on the long version of the measure (0.045 and 0.38)

(Wei et al, 2011; n=27 with chronic stroke (4.92��0.45 yrs post-stroke

Pre- and post-training which consisted of 20 sessions of UE robotic training that could be completed in 4-7 weeks.

	SRM	GRI*
UE FMA	0.85	3.62
Shoulder & elbow	0.84 (large responsiveness)	2.70
Wrist & Hand	0.67 (moderate responsiveness)	3.45

*GRI has no recommended value. Bigger GRI values mean larger effect size and more responsiveness. SRM = Standardized Response Mean; GRI= Guyatt��s Responsiveness Index[

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)

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

Interrater/Intrarater Reliability

Excellent Interrater Reliability:

(Duncan et al, 1983; 4 PT's using the above sample)

FMA Domain	Pearson's r
Upper Extremity	r = 0.98 - 0.995
Lower Extremity	r = 0.89 - 0.95

Excellent interrater reliability, FMA Total Score: (ICC = 0.96)(Sanford et al, 1993; n = 12; mean age = 66 (11.5) years; 0 to 6 months post stroke, Acute Stroke)

Rating	FMA Domain	ICC
Excellent	Upper Extremity	0.97
Excellent	Lower Extremity	0.92
Adequate	Sensation	0.85
Adequate	Joint Range of Motion	0.85
Poor	Pain	0.61

Wrist and Hand Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer (w/h UE FM):

Study of the wrist stability and mobility hand scales (the 12 most distal items of the UE FM).

(Page SJ et al, 2015; n=32, mean age=57(10) years, chronic stroke patients with moderately impaired UE function)

Excellent intrarater reliability (ICC = 0.95)

Internal Consistency

Subsection to FMA Total Score Correlations:

(Wood-Dauphinee et al, 1990; n = 167; assessed at admission and 5 weeks)

Excellent correlation : Upper Extremity & FMA Total (r = 0.97)
Excellent correlation: Mower Extremity & FMA Total (r = 0.90)
Adequate correlation: Balance & FMA Total (r = 0.88)

(Page SJ et al, 2015; n=32, mean age=57(10) years, chronic stroke patients with moderately impaired UE function)

Excellent internal consistency for the Wrist and Hand Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer (w/h UE FM) across two trials, Cronbach's alpha = 0.82 and 0.84)

Face Validity

Gladstone et al, 2002:

Face and content validity for the motor domain are "very good"
Scaling is heavily weighted for the upper extremity
Reflexes may be overrepresented in the scoring system
