Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Readiness for return-to-work (RRTW) Scale is a self administered, measuring the RRTW stages that is divided into two scales. Scale A is 13 item questionnaire. Each item receives 5-point rating (strongly agree 5 to strongly disagree 1) & represents a particular stage of readiness. The final score for each stage of RRTW is calculated by averaging the items that relate to that factor. Higher readiness stage scores are interpreted as relatively high beliefs attributed with that stage.Timepoint: A baseline assessment at 12 weeks post primary repair of median or ulnar or combined nerve injury (single time point). | — |
