    This document provides details on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), which is used to assess sensorimotor function in the lower extremities. The assessment evaluates: (1) reflex activity and volitional movement within and between synergies while supine and sitting, (2) volitional movement with little synergy while standing, (3) normal reflex activity if full scores achieved previously, (4) coordination and speed of alternating leg movements, (5) light touch sensation, (6) passive joint motion, and (7) joint pain during passive motion. Scores are provided for each subsection, with higher scores indicating better function. The total possible score is 86 points.

    Flexor synergy: Maximal hip flexion (abduction/external rotation), maximal flexion in knee and ankle joint (palpate distal tendons to ensure active knee flexion). Extensor synergy: From flexor synergy to the hip extension/adduction, knee extension and ankle plantar flexion. Resistance is applied to ensure active movement, evaluate both movement and strength.
