The purpose of this study was to apply the Brief International Classification of Functioning (ICF) Core Set for Hand Conditions to the physical therapy outcome measures, and to evaluate the contribution of these measures to overall health in subjects with ulnar wrist pain.
Thirty-five subjects with ulnar wrist pain received a 4-week home-based treatment program including orthotics and strengthening exercises. Investigators measured pain, function, grip strength, and overall health four weeks post-intervention. Regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of these variables on overall health represented by the Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire.
Fifty-three percent of the variability in SF-36 physical health summary scores was explained by the studied variables with grip strength predicting 31% of the variability.
The Brief ICF Core Set for Hand Conditions can be a useful abridged list of categories relevant to functioning and health in subjects with ulnar wrist pain.
本研究旨在将手部疾病的简要国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）核心集应用于物理治疗结局测量，并评估这些测量对尺侧腕部疼痛患者整体健康状况的贡献。
35名尺侧腕部疼痛患者接受了为期4周的家庭治疗方案，包括使用矫形器和进行强化锻炼。干预4周后，研究人员测量了疼痛、功能、握力和整体健康状况。采用回归分析来研究这些变量对由简短健康调查问卷（SF-36）所代表的整体健康状况的影响。
研究变量解释了SF-36身体健康总结评分中53%的变异性，其中握力预测了31%的变异性。
手部疾病的简要ICF核心集可以作为一份有用的简表，列出与尺侧腕部疼痛患者的功能和健康相关的类别。
