Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Japanese translation of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper and lower extremity sensorimotor function after stroke.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo develop an official translation of the original Fugl-Meyer Assessment of upper and lower extremity sensorimotor function into Japanese by following a standardized cross-cultural adaptation process to ensure conceptual, linguistic, and semantic validity.
designCross-cultural translation/validation. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Seven Japanese clinical experts and an external expert developed the translation. The pilot study included 10 participants with stroke.
methodsFollowing the Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Objectively Assessed Outcome Measures, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment was forward and backward translated and reviewed by an expert group and an external expert familiar with the original scale. The translation was tested in a pilot study with 10 patients with hemiparetic stroke to identify problematic items in intra- and inter-rater agreements.
resultsSufficient intra- and inter-rater agreements (> 70% agreement) were reached for all items, and only 2 sensation items showed systematic disagreement. These results were incorporated to refine the translation and ensure conceptual, semantic, and linguistic equivalence with the original Fugl-Meyer Assessment.
conclusionThe culturally validated upper and lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment supports the Japanese rehabilitation field and promotes international collaboration by improving the unified assessment of sensorimotor function in individuals with stroke.
