1 Before you use it
What it is
Ten everyday hand tasks — turning a key, cutting meat, holding a bottle, buttoning, writing, opening a jar. Three minutes, no licence.
The green substitute for AUSCAN.
When to reach for it
First CMC osteoarthritis and hand OA generally, at baseline and at the 8–12 week decision point.

2 Giving it
Scoring
Each item 0–3, summed to 0–30. Higher means worse function.
What it doesn’t measure
Pain intensity, grip or pinch strength. Pair with the NPRS and pinch dynamometry — pinch is the outcome the patient feels on the thumb-base page.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Interpret against baseline.
The items are the treatment plan. Every task on the list has an adaptive-equipment or joint-protection answer, which is the highest-yield part of thumb-base OA management.
Is the change real?
Student trap. Scoring it and not acting on it. Ten named tasks, ten adaptive answers — that's the session.
