Only the DASH and PRWE have evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in patients with traumatic injuries to the h and and wrist ; other measures either have incomplete evidence or evidence gathered in a nontraumatic population .
Conclusions : The DASH and PRWE both have evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in a h and and wrist trauma population .
Other PROMs used to assess h and and wrist trauma patients do not .
Background : Patient-reported outcome measures ( PROMs ) are important tools for assessing outcomes following injuries to the h and and wrist .
Many commonly used PROMs have no evidence of reliability , validity , and responsiveness in a h and and wrist trauma population .
This systematic review examines the PROMs used in the assessment of h and and wrist trauma patients , and the evidence for reliability , validity , and responsiveness of each measure in this population .
Responsiveness of the short form-36, disability of the arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire, patient-rated wrist evaluation, and physical impairment measurements in evaluating recovery after a distal radius fracture.
We evaluated the responsiveness of  patient question naires and physical testing in the assessment of recovery after distal radius fracture . Patients ( n = 59 ) were assessed at their baseline clinic visit and again 3 and 6 months after injury . At each visit patients completed a short form-36 , Disability of the Arm , Shoulder , and H and question naire , and  patient-rated wrist evaluation  ( PRWE ) . At 3 and 6 months grip strength , range of motion , and dexterity were analyzed . St and ardized response means ( SRM ) and effects sizes were calculated to indicate responsiveness . The PRWE was the most responsive . Both the PRWE ( SRM = 2.27 ) and the Disability of the Arm , Shoulder , and H and ( SRM = 2.01 ) question naire were more responsive than the short form-36 ( SRM = 0.92 ) . The physical component summary score of the short form-36 was similar to that of the physical component subscales . Question naires were highly responsive during the 0- to 3-month time period when physical testing could not be performed . Of the physical tests , grip strength was most responsive , followed by range of motion . Responsive patient-rating scales and physical performance evaluations can assist with outcome evaluation of patients with distal radius fracture
