Reliability and Validity of Upper Extremity Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Assessing Traumatic Finger Amputation Management

摘要

Background: This study investigates the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome instruments for assessing outcomes in postsurgical traumatic digit amputation patients. The authors hypothesize that the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire are the most valid and reliable instruments.
