Detailed description
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian. This poses a problem when evaluating Italian speaking patients. Our aim is to develop a culturally adapted Italian version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire. There is no risk involved for the patients, as the task of the recruited patients is to answer a survey (online and in clinics).

Inclusion criteria
* age \> 18 years * native Italian speakers * wrist/hand pathology * trauma (fractures, tendon injuries, etc.) * chronic pathology, the pathology has been present for at least 1 month (tenosynovitis, chronic arthrosis pain, rheumatic hand or wrist disorders) * in case of hand/wrist surgery: at least 4 weeks have elapsed since surgery to avoid that the patient could not perform certain actions evaluated by the scale, for example lifting a pan or shopping bags, due to normal post-operative precautions. * full possession of mental capacity
Exclusion criteria
* age \< 18 years * non-native Italian speakers of Italian, thus also excluding second generation Swiss Italians (secundo) * mental incapacity * upper limb in cast/locked by splint (criterion in Chung's article 98) at the time of the evaluation
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Validity | 3 months | Validity will be assessed as structural validity, i.e., the degree to which the scores of the Health-Related Patient Reported Outcome (HR-PRO) are an adequate reflection of the dimensionality of the construct to be measured (Mokkink et al., 2010). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reliability | 3 months | Reliability will be assessed as internal consistency (i.e., the degree of the interrelatedness among the items \[Mokkink et al., 2010\]), test-retest reliability (i.e., the proportion of the total variance in the measurements which is due to 'true' differences between patients \[Mokkink et al., 2010\]), and measurement error (i.e., the systematic and random error of a patient's score that is not attributed to true changes in the construct to be measured \[Mokkink et al., 2010\]). |
