Official title
The Relationship Between Perceived Manual Ability and Functional Measurements in Patients With Hand-Forearm Injuries
Overview
Patient-reported outcome measures, which are subjective by nature, need to be correlated with clinician-administered professional measurements as a further step toward expanding their clinical utility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived manual dexterity and functional measurements in patients with hand-forearm injuries.
Interventions
- Other Questionnaire and Physical Exam
The Modified Hand Injury Severity Score is used to determine the severity level of patients' injuries. At the 6th and 12th weeks following the injury or surgery, patients are administered the Manual Ability Measure-36 questionnaire, and the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and Nine-Hole Peg Test are performed. Additionally, the grip strength of the subjects is evaluated at the 12th week.
Primary outcome measures
- The Modified Hand Injury Severity Score [Time frame: At baseline]
- Manual Ability Measure-36 [Time frame: At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery]
- The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test [Time frame: At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery]
- The Nine-Hole Peg Test [Time frame: At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery]
- Gross and fine grip strength [Time frame: At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery]
