Psychometrics of the Wrist Stability and Hand Mobility Subscales of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment in Moderately Impaired Stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: It appears that the w/h UE FM is a promising tool to measure distal UE movement in patients with little active paretic wrist and finger movement. This finding widens the segment of patients on whom the w/h UE FM can be effectively used, and addresses a gap, since commonly used measures necessitate active distal UE movement.
