It is now widely used for clinical assessment of motor function. [2] [3] The Fugl-Meyer Assessment score has been tested several times, and is found to have excellent consistency, responsivity and good accuracy. [4] [5] The maximum possible score in Fugl-Meyer scale is 226, which corresponds to full sensory-motor recovery. [4]
These three behaviours make up the three elements of the scale: eye, verbal, and motor. A person's GCS score can range from 3 (completely unresponsive) to 15 (responsive). This score is used to guide immediate medical care after a brain injury (such as a car accident) and also to monitor hospitalised patients and track their level of consciousness.
The assessment of consciousness, often using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Mental status examination, often including the abbreviated mental test score (AMTS) or mini mental state examination (MMSE) Global assessment of higher functions; Intracranial pressure is estimated by fundoscopy; this also enables assessment for microvascular disease.
The scale was created by Dr Stephen Green in 2011. He wrote an editorial for the Annals of Emergency Medicine strongly opposing the use of the GCS, stating that, compared to a general assessment, simple unstructured clinical judgement can be just as accurate and that the GCS itself has poor reliability.

Score ranges from 0 to 260, [7] [8] with 0 indicating no disability and 260 indicating total disability. The scales are: Part I: Nonmotor experiences of daily living: 13 items. Score range: 0–52, [8] 10 and below is mild, 22 and above is severe. [9] Part II: Motor experiences of daily living: 13 items.
The Gross Motor Function Classification System or GMFCS is a 5 level clinical classification system that describes the gross motor function of people with cerebral palsy on the basis of self-initiated movement abilities. Particular emphasis in creating and maintaining the GMFCS scale rests on evaluating sitting, walking, and wheeled mobility.
The FOUR Score is a 17-point scale (with potential scores ranging from 0 - 16). Decreasing FOUR Score is associated with worsening level of consciousness. The FOUR Score assesses four domains of neurological function: eye responses, motor responses, brainstem reflexes, and breathing pattern.
Score should be recorded for each arm separately, resulting in a maximum potential score of 8. Motor Arm assessment should be skipped in the case of an amputee, however a note should be made in the scoring of the amputation. If patient is unable to understand commands, the investigator should deliver the instructions via demonstration
