Validity, Reliability, and Measurement Error of the Remote Fugl-Meyer Assessment by Videoconferencing: Tele-FMA

CONCLUSION: Tele-FMA has excellent intrarater and interrater reliability and should be considered as a valid measurement.IMPACT: The FMA is widely used in clinical practice. However, the measurement properties of the remote version applied by videoconferencing were unknown. This study's results demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Tele-FMA for assessing poststroke motor impairment remotely via videoconferencing. The Tele-FMA may be used to implement telerehabilitation in clinical practice.PMID:37255324 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad054
