For the first time in the setting of patients with chronic motor deficits secondary to TBI, this study reports triangulated MCIDs for: 1) DRS, a measure of global outcome; and 2) Fugl-Meyer Scales, measures of motor impairment. These findings guide the use of DRS and Fugl-Meyer Scales in the assessment of global disability outcome and motor impairment in future TBI clinical trials.
