Cross-cultural translation and adaptation of the Danish version of the Fugl-Meyer assessment for post stroke sensorimotor function
CONCLUSIONS: The Danish version of the FMA was translated and adapted allowing for a wider standardized use of the FMA in stroke rehabilitation in Denmark.Implications for rehabilitationThe Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) is the most used and recommended clinical assessment scale for evaluating sensorimotor impairments in stroke patients.The translated and adapted Danish version of the FMA is now available for use in research and clinical practice in Denmark.This allows for a standardized and unified description of stroke motor recovery and severity in neurorehabilitation nationwide as well as the possibility to compare and co...

Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke in two Scandinavian country-regions with different organisation of rehabilitation services: a prospective study.
Conclusions: Successful improvements in one-year functioning in both country-regions may result from optimising long-term rehabilitation services to address cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke could be explained by individual factors, such as pre-stroke dependency and mental health, rather than differences in the organisation of subacute rehabilitation services.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe stroke-specific health related quality of life (SS-QOL) assessment tool captures multidimensional effects of a stroke from the perspective of the patient, which is clin...

Significant others' perspectives on person-centred information and communication technology in stroke rehabilitation - a grounded theory study.
CONCLUSION: Information and communication technology has the potential to facilitate participation in everyday life after stroke. It is important, therefore, to start using information and communication technology in the rehabilitation process after stroke, to bring meaning to everyday life and to support both the stroke survivors and their significant others. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Integration of information and communication technology in the rehabilitation process after stroke can accommodate several of the significant others´ needs. Educating stroke survivors to use information and communication technology as...

The Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity: reliability, responsiveness and validity of the Danish version.
CONCLUSION: The FMA-UE was successfully translated into Danish. An MCID ≥ 4 was found. This study provides evidence that the FMA-UE is a reliable, responsive and valid instrument for measuring upper limb impairment after stroke. Implications for rehabilitation One of the most widely recognized measures of upper extremity motor impairment post-stroke is the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity (FMA-UE). The psychometric properties of a measurement depends on the population and setting in which it is used. In this study, the FMA-UE is translated into Danish and the psychometric properties of FMA-UE is determine...
