[Evaluation of posttraumatic hand function in everyday activities].
The original Hand Disability Score (HDS) questionnaire which subjectively evaluates the quality of hand function in 25 one- and two-handed daily living activities was developed. The strict correlation (p < 0.001) between HDS and both severity of injury and objectively measured hand impairment was confirmed. The HDS may be used as a single estimation of hand function after treatment or as an evaluation of the progress of rehabilitation procedures.
