Abstract

The Fahn-Marsden scale (F-M, also known as the Burke-Fahn-Marsden scale, BFM) is a reliable and valid scale used to quantify dystonia symptoms and signs. It is composed of two sections: a movement scale and a disability scale. It has been used in multiple studies to quantify the efficacy of treatments for dystonia, most frequently deep brain stimulation studies.
