It is also well-suited for capturing a dynamic rehabilitation process. The aim of this study was to first translate the entire sensorimotor FMA scale into Romanian using the transcultural and semantic-linguistic adaptations of its official afferent protocols and to <i>then</i> validate it using the preliminary clinical evaluation of inter- and intra-rater reliability and relevant concurrent validity.<h4>Methods</h4>Through three main steps, we completed a standardized procedure for translating FMA's official afferent evaluation protocols into Romanian and their transcultural and semantic-linguiFrontiers in neurology1022546https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9879050biostudies-literatureTranslation of the Fugl-Meyer assessment into Romanian: Transcultural and semantic-linguistic adaptations and clinical validation.PMC9879050Bichir ACarare ROMunteanu CStanescu AMatei VDaia CSpinu AFrunza AConstantin EMarinescu FSPetre TPopa RBaila MCollaborative Working GroupIonescu AOnose GAnghelescu ACocolos AToader CBumbea AMTataranu LGPopescu CPandrea ARaducanu CColibaseanu IChurch DOprea MTuta SElisei IfalseTranslation of the Fugl-Meyer assessment into Romanian: Transcultural and semantic-linguistic adaptations and clinical validation.<h4>Purpose</h4>The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale, which is widely used and highly recommended, is an appropriate tool for evaluating poststroke sensorimotor and other possible somatic deficits.
