Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) Total Score - Injured Hand

Patient-reported hand outcomes assessed with the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) for the injured hand. Total score range: 0-100; higher scores indicate better hand-related outcomes.

Time frame: 6 months after injury

Secondary Outcomes

Grip Strength of Injured Hand (Jamar Dynamometer)

Grip strength of the injured hand measured using a Jamar dynamometer (kg). Mean of 3 trials; higher values indicate greater strength.

Time frame: 6 months after injury

Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test Threshold - Injured Hand

Cutaneous pressure threshold assessed using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments in the injured hand. Reported as monofilament level (or gram-force, if applicable); lower values indicate better sensation.

Time frame: 6 months after injury

Static Two-Point Discrimination - Injured Hand

Static two-point discrimination measured in millimeters (mm) in the injured hand; lower values indicate better discrimination.

Time frame: 6 months after injury
