Abstract

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.
