Minimal clinically important difference of the lower-extremity fugl-meyer assessment in chronic-stroke.

CONCLUSION: In chronic poststroke hemiparetic subjects, the computed MCID of FMA-LE is a score of 6. The subjects who achieve a change in a score of 6 on FMA-LE would perceive a meaningful recovery of lower-extremity function than those who do not. The reference value may be utilized in stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 27086865 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
