Stroke Upper Limb Motor Function Evaluation

The FMA-UE is used to evaluate upper limb motor function impairment in people with stroke (30 (link)). The FMA-UE comprises 33 items measuring the reflex, movement and coordination of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand (30 (link)). Each item is scored on a 3-point scale from 0 to 2, with a maximum possible score of 66 (30 (link)). A higher score indicates a lower level of motor impairment (30 (link)). The FMA-UE has demonstrated excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC = 0.995–0.996) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.97) in people with chronic stroke (30 (link), 31 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
