The Korean Version of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment: Reliability and Validity Evaluation.

Objective: To systematically translate the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) into a Korean version of the FMA (K-FMA).

Methods: We translated the original FMA into the Korean version with three translators and a translation committee, which included physiatrists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Based on a test-retest method, each of 31 patients with stroke was assessed by two evaluators twice, once on recruitment, and again after a week.

Precursor of inflation.

We investigate a nonsingular initial state of the Universe which leads to inflation naturally. The model is described by a scalar field with a quadratic potential in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. The curvature of this initial state is given by the mass scale of the scalar field, which is much smaller than the Planck scale.
