对重度手部残疾患者的上肢外功能进行捏、抓、握、肘屈伸、前臂旋前、旋后的评价并评分。这个基本测试的分数与传统的日常生活测试的分数相当相关。该测试具有足够的可靠性和一致性来测量连续执行时功能的改善或恶化。对大量养老院类型患者的测试表明，如果不了解患者的整体身心功能，上肢活动是没有意义的。手部评估可用于适当选择的患者，以确定上肢的哪些功能受损并需要治疗。它还可以用来测量随着疾病进展、手术或其他治疗的手部功能变化。
An evaluation of upper ex-tremlty function in patients with severe hand disabilities in terms of pinch, grasp, grip, elbow flexion and extension, forearm pronation and supination was performed and scored. Scores on this basic test correlated fairly well with scores on a conventional hand activities of dally living test. The test has sufficient reliability and consistency to measure improvement or deterioration in function when performed serially. Application of the test to a large number of nursing home type patients has shown that upper extermity activity is meaningless without knowledge of the patient''s overall physical and mental functioning. The hand evaluation can be used in properly selected patients to determine what functions of the upper extremity are impaired and need treatment. It can also be used to measure changes in hand function with advancing disease, surgical or other treatment.
