Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Until now, symptom-related activities of daily living in patients with upper limb disorders have often been assessed with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH) and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). However, in the development of these scales, only statements describing specific activities were used and items were not scored from easy to difficult according to activity level. There is no scale specifically developed for upper extremity pathologies that grades upper extremity activity level according to a certain level of difficulty. In order to fill this gap in the literature, Adolfsson et al. developed 'The Adolfsson-Björnsson Upper Extremity Activity Scale (ABAS)' to evaluate activities of daily living according to the perceived difficulty level in individuals with upper extremity injuries. Cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the ABAS have not been studied.
The aim of this study was to make a cross-cultural Turkish adaptation of the 'The Adolfsson-Björnsson Upper Extremity Activity Scale (ABAS)' and to investigate the validity, reliability and psychometric properties of the Turkish version on individuals with upper extremity disorders.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ABAS will be carried out in five stages according to standard guidelines for scale translation and cross-cultural adaptation. It was planned to include 150 individuals with upper extremity disorders between the ages of 18 to 64 in the study.
The data collection for this planned study will be solely through surveys. The design of the study is a cross-sectional study aimed at developing and assessing the validity and reliability." Surveys specific to the research will be implemented in the study.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients with upper limb injuries
Patients with upper extremity injury, who can read and write Turkish and are between the ages of 18-64, and only participants with unchanged health status for retesting will be included in the study.
Patients with mental and neurological disorders (major depression, schizophrenia, psychosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, etc.) and/or rheumatological disease, active local or systemic infection, cancer history, severe visual impairment, need for emergency surgery, injection in the last 3 years, sensory problems that may affect the application of scales and cognitive impairment will be excluded from the study.
