Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To our knowledge, a Turkish version of the TASD questionnaire, frequently used for assessing TMC arthrosis worldwide, does not currently exist. Therefore, proper translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the tool are necessary for non-English speaking patients. This study aimed to develop the Turkish version of the TASD questionnaire, and to demonstrate its reliability and validity for use in patients with TMC arthrosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The original TASD was translated into Turkish independently by a physiotherapist with expertise in hand research and proficiency in English, a healthcare professional, and English teacher with no healthcare background. Demographic data were collected, followed by administration of the TASD questionnaire, the Thumb Disability Examination (TDX) questionnaire, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain assessment, and hand grip and pinch strength measurements using the Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer and Jamar Hydraulic Pinch Gauge to assess thumb function and muscle strength. The questionnaires were administered twice, with a 7-day interval, during which no medical or rehabilitation intervention was provided that could alter the clinical condition of the patients.

Intervention Type OTHER

The TASD questionnaire, the Thumb Disability Examination (TDX) questionnaire, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, as well as hand grip and pinch strength measurements using the Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer and Jamar Hydraulic Pinch Gauge Dynamometer were employed to assess thumb function and muscle strength. The questionnaires were administered twice, with a 7-day interval, during which no medical or rehabilitation intervention was made that could alter the clinical condition of the patients.
