Functional Outcome in Upper Extremity Disorders using Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire and Michigan Hand Questionnaire
Abstract: The Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and Michigan Hand questionnaire (MHQ) is a standardized measure to evaluate activity profile of patients with upper extremity disorders. Based on the demographic data, clinical profile and scores of the DASH and MHQ, this study of 124 patients with upper extremity disorders evaluated functional limitations perceived from September 2014 to January 2015. Secondly, we explored the relationships among neck region, shoulder region, elbow region, wrist and hand region at the individual DASH item level and MHQ subset level. Exploratory testing of statistical significance showed that the DASH modules and MHQ subsets differentiated well among the regions (ANOVA P - value
