Systematic review of the effect of robot-aided therapy on recovery of the hemiparetic arm after stroke. (2006, background): “This may explain, in part, why the 6 percent increase in the upper-limb FM score after robot-aided therapy was statistically significant but not clinically relevant (≥10% increase in FM score) [52].”
Brain–computer interface boosts motor imagery practice during stroke recovery (2015, methodology): “The primary outcome measure was the arm section of the Fugl–Meyer Assessment (FMA).(38,39) A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for this scale was set to 7 points.”
Ankle dorsiflexion as an fMRI paradigm to assay motor control for walking during rehabilitation (2004, background): “It is a valid and reliable measure of selective movement control for patients with stroke (Gladstone et al., 2002).”
Activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis of motor-related neural activity after stroke (2012, methodology): “The Fugl-Meyer (FM) assessment contains 50 items to investigate upper and lower limb motor functions (Fugl-Meyer et al., 1975; Gladstone et al., 2002).”
