Abstract_ Background To analyse the cross-diagnostic validity of the Functional Independence Measure FIM motor items in patients with spinal cord injury stroke and traumatic brain injury and the comparability of summed scores between these diagnoses. Methods Data from 471 patients on FIM motor items at admission stroke 157 spinal cord injury 157 and traumatic brain injury 157 age range 11-90 years and 70 male in nine rehabilitation facilities in Scandinavia were fitted to the Rasch model. A detailed analysis of scoring functions of the seven categories of the FIM motor items was made prior to testing fit to the model. Categories were re-scored where .
