About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Having sustained a hand and/or forearm injury and/or having undergone surgery related to this injury.
Being voluntary to participate in the study.
Disqualifiers
Patients with concomitant central nervous system involvement.
Patients with a history of previous injury to the same extremity.
Patients with rheumatological disorders.
Trial population
Patients treated conservatively or surgically in the orthopedics clinic due to hand-forearm injuries

Treatments tested in this trial
Questionnaire and Physical Exam
Other interventionThe 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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
The Modified Hand Injury Severity Score
It is a four-component scoring system developed to determine the severity of hand and forearm injuries: integumentary (skin and nail), skeletal (bone and ligament), motor (tendon), and neurovascular (nerve and vascular). The total score is obtained by summing the scores of all components and is classified into four categories: minor (\<20), moderate (21-50), severe (51-100), and major (\>101) injury.
Time frame
At baseline2
Manual Ability Measure-36
It is a self-report questionnaire specifically developed to measure hand dexterity. It is an outcome measure that reflects patients' perceived functional hand use or their ability to perform activities of daily living. Higher scores indicate higher levels of function.
Time frame
At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery3
The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test
It consists of seven subtests: writing, turning over cards, picking up small common objects, simulated feeding, stacking checkers, moving light objects, and moving heavy objects.
Time frame
At the 6th and 12th weeks following injury or surgery4
The Nine-Hole Peg Test
It is a simple, rapid, and manual dexterity test with proven validity and reliability. It is particularly sensitive to changes in upper extremity performance.
