The study of 61 hand-injured subjects suggested that it is more than surgical and technical excellence that facilitates the return-to-work status among the hand-injured wage earners. Financial need, level of activities of daily living, and participation in occupational therapy were found to be directly related to return-to-work status. Additional findings indicated no difference between the rate of return to work for those whose injuries affected their dominant hand over those who had nondominant hand injuries. The amount of medical care needed and whether it was delivered as an outpatient or an inpatient were not associated with the return to work. The hand-injured subjects' relevant medical history, participation in occupational therapy, capacity in activities of daily living, desire and ability to return to work, and financial support were quantified through chart audit and interview. Occupational development was measured by using the Moorhead Occupational Work History.
一项针对61名手部受伤受试者的研究表明，对于手部受伤的工薪族而言，促进其恢复工作状态的因素不仅仅在于手术技术精湛。研究发现，经济需求、日常生活活动水平以及参与职业治疗与恢复工作状态直接相关。其他研究结果表明，受伤影响优势手的受试者与受伤影响非优势手的受试者的复工率并无差异。所需医疗护理的数量以及护理是作为门诊还是住院治疗提供，均与复工无关。通过病历审查和访谈，对手部受伤受试者的相关病史、参与职业治疗的情况、日常生活活动能力、恢复工作的愿望和能力以及经济支持进行了量化。职业发展情况采用穆尔黑德职业工作史进行衡量。
