Evaluation of hand function is a qualitative and quantitative process. This article provides a review of several quantitative tests and measures used to evaluate range of motion, edema, muscle performance, sensation, dexterity, and physical capacity. The validity and reliability of these instruments are emphasized. Some of the hand assessments reviewed are in the early developmental phase with further refinements yet to come. This article demonstrates the continued need to provide support for the validity and reliability of hand-assessment instrumentation. Regardless of the statistical support provided, however, the authors believe that hand therapy will remain an art as well as a science.
手部功能评估是一个定性和定量的过程。本文综述了几种用于评估活动范围、水肿、肌肉功能、感觉、灵巧性和身体能力的定量测试和测量方法。强调了这些工具的有效性和可靠性。一些综述的手部评估尚处于早期发展阶段，有待进一步完善。本文表明，持续需要为手部评估仪器的有效性和可靠性提供支持。然而，无论提供何种统计支持，作者认为手部治疗仍将既是一门科学也是一门艺术。
