Duruöz Hand Index (DHI)

Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) is a functional disability scale that can be used successfully to assess the functional disability with different hand arthropathies. It consists of 18 items that evaluate hand and wrist activities. The answers are evaluated on a 6-level (0-5) Likert scale and the total score ranges from 0 to 90.
