1 Before you use it
What it is
Metadata only. Thirty-seven items across six domains — overall hand function, activities of daily living, work performance, pain, aesthetics, and satisfaction — scored separately for each hand.
The aesthetics and satisfaction domains are unusual and matter in hand surgery, which is where you'll see it.
When to reach for it
When a hand surgeon's letter quotes it. For your own baseline use the PRWE.
2 Giving it
Scoring
Six domains, each normalised 0–100. Higher is better for every domain except pain, where higher means more pain — a genuine trap when reading a report.
What it doesn’t measure
Range, grip or pinch.
3 Reading the score
Interpreting it
Is the change real?
Student trap. Reading the pain domain in the same direction as the others. Five domains go up when things improve; pain goes the other way.
