Area of Science:

Occupational rehabilitation
Ergonomics
Prosthetics

Background:

Standardized clinical measurement instruments are increasingly needed in occupational rehabilitation and ergonomics.
Quantitative evaluation of upper limb and hand function is critical for patients with upper limb prostheses.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and critically analyze existing tests for evaluating hand function.
To assess the suitability of these tests for individuals with upper limb prostheses.

Main Methods:

Categorization of hand function tests into strength, coordination/dexterity, global function, and prosthesis-specific tests.
Critical analysis of the application and utility of each test category for prosthesis users.

Main Results:

Identified various tests for evaluating different aspects of hand function.
Highlighted the need for tests suitable for the unique challenges faced by upper limb prosthesis users.

Conclusions:

The Bimanual Functional Assessment, Abilhand, and ADL Questionnaire are preferred for evaluating hand function in upper limb prosthesis users.
These tests offer practical utility, strong clinimetric properties, and ease of administration.
