Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
- Joint mobility: Total Active Motion (TAM) and Total Passive Motion (TPM) measured with digital goniometry - Strength measured with the digital dynamometer - Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). A questionnaire of the hand function in general, activities of daily living, quality of life, working performance, pain, aesthetics and the satisfaction with the hand. - The (Quick) DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand); a questionnaire the ability to perform daily activities with the upper limb, based on the condition at that moment. - The Perdue Pegboard test; ability test of the fine motor control. - Number of tendon ruptures and other complications like infection, bleeding, wound dehiscence. - Moment of the return to work (in days). - Duration of the therapy and the number of therapy sessions. This will be recorded by the hand therapist. - The total costs of treatment. This calculation is based on working hours and material costs.	—
