Purpose:
To construct a questionnaire to measure skills in which notably both hands are active, which is suitable for patients with a disease of one or both hands and to research its response stability and possible improvements.
Method:
Using the Dutch elaboration of the ICIDH and then experts in a Delphi round, the questionnaire was constructed. Thereafter, test-retest and inter-observer reliability was examined. Fifty-four patients with RSD in one upper extremity and a normal contralateral extremity participated in the study, the first twenty to evaluate the construction of the questionnaire and the others to test reliability.
Results:
The constructed Radboud skills questionnaire was reliable in terms of response stability (median coefficients of variation 2.2% to 6.6%). Correlation's between categories of items were fair to good.
Conclusions:
A useful questionnaire was constructed to map alterations in the level of disability in patients with a disease of one hand or both hands.

01:11Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
