Summary

The Manual Ability Measure (MAM-36) and Upper Extremity Performance Test for the Elderly (TEMPA) show a significant correlation in assessing hand function. Performance-based tests offer additional insights into task quality and speed.

Background:

Hand function is crucial for daily activities.
Accurate assessment of hand function is vital for effective rehabilitation.
Self-report measures and performance-based tests are common assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between self-reported hand function (MAM-36) and performance-based hand function (TEMPA).
To compare hand function assessment between individuals with dominant vs. nondominant hand involvement.

Main Methods:

Thirty participants with hand function limitations were evaluated using the MAM-36 and TEMPA.
Participants were grouped based on whether their dominant or nondominant hand was affected.
Correlations between the two measures were analyzed, and task execution speed/TEMPA scores were compared between groups.

Main Results:

A significant positive correlation was observed between the MAM-36 and TEMPA Total Functional Rating (p = 0.79, p < .05).
Significant differences were identified in the speed of unilateral task execution and Unilateral Functional Ratings between the dominant and nondominant hand affected groups.

Conclusions:

The MAM-36 is a valuable tool for assessing perceived hand function.
Performance-based assessments like TEMPA provide complementary information on the quality and speed of hand-task execution.
Integrating both self-report and performance-based measures offers a comprehensive evaluation of hand function.
