- •
The lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment represents a multidimensional construct.
- •
Our results challenge use of the total score to predict lower extremity motor recovery.
- •
The abnormal synergy items of the lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment are unidimensional.
- •
The abnormal synergy items deviate from the originally proposed hierarchical order.
