Detailed Description

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian. This poses a problem when evaluating Italian speaking patients. Our aim is to develop a culturally adapted Italian version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire. There is no risk involved for the patients, as the task of the recruited patients is to answer a survey (online and in clinics).

Conditions

Hand Fracture; Hand Osteoarthritis; Hand Injury Wrist; Hand Sprain; Wrist Injuries; Wrist Fracture; Wrist Arthritis

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CONTROL
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE
