Fugl-Meyer Assessment

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a detailed test used to evaluate a person's recovery after a stroke or brain injury, particularly focusing on motor function, balance, and sensation. It assesses how well a person can move their limbs and perform basic tasks. The assessment is scored, helping healthcare providers understand the patient's level of physical ability and track progress over time. This information is crucial for creating personalized rehabilitation plans and improving recovery outcomes. The FMA is widely recognized for its reliability and validity in the field of rehabilitation.
