Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Each part (I, II and III) of the study has its own main study parameters. Part I. Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of three questionnaires (QuickDASH, PRWHE, HFS). Part II. Scores of eight different tests composing the upper extremity FCE. Part III. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max in l/min).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Part I. Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of the RAND-36, Pain Disability Index (PDI), Pain Numeric Rating Scale, Upper Extremity Work Demands (UEWD). External criterium for assessing responsiveness, after hand therapy: global rating scale (global perceived effect of change). Part II. Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of three questionnaires (QuickDASH, PRWHE, HFS). Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of the RAND-36, Pain Disability Index (PDI), Pain Numeric Rating Scale, Upper Extremity Work Demands (UEWD). Part III. Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of three questionnaires (QuickDASH, PRWHE, HFS). Scores of single items, subscales and a total score of the RAND-36, Pain Disability Index (PDI), Pain Numeric Rating Scale, Upper Extremity Work Demands (UEWD). Anaerobic threshold (AT, % of VO2max), W/kg. Handheld dynamometry of both hands. Weight, height, BMI, fat free mass (bio-impedance).	—
