Timely identification of patients' problems after disorder or injury of the hand requires a thorough functional assessment. However, the variety of outcome measures available makes it difficult to choose the appropriate instrument. The brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (Brief ICF Core Set for Hand Conditions) provides a standard for what aspects need to be measured in hand injuries and disorders without specifying how to make the assessment. We developed the ICF-based Assessment Hand (ICF Hand), an assessment set for functioning based on the Brief ICF Core Set for Hand Conditions. First, we performed a literature review and an expert survey to pool outcome measures appropriate to assess functioning in clinical practice. At an interdisciplinary consensus conference experts decided on the outcome measures to be included in the ICF Hand. The ICF Hand provides a consensus on outcome measures and instruments to systematically assess function in patients with hand injuries and disorders.
手部出现紊乱或损伤后，及时识别患者的问题需要进行全面的功能评估。然而，现有的多种结果测量方法使得选择合适的工具变得困难。简短的《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（手部疾病简短ICF核心集）规定了手部损伤和疾病需要测量哪些方面的标准，但未具体说明如何进行评估。我们开发了基于ICF的手部评估工具（ICF Hand），这是一种基于手部疾病简短ICF核心集的功能评估工具集。首先，我们进行了文献综述和专家调查，以汇总适合在临床实践中评估功能的结果测量方法。在一次跨学科共识会议上，专家们确定了ICF Hand中应包含的结果测量方法。ICF Hand就结果测量方法和工具达成了共识，以便系统地评估手部损伤和疾病患者的功能。
