Assessments

Pre- and postop assessments – an important tool for evaluation

By assessing hand and arm functions pre- and postoperatively, we are continuously evaluating our outcomes. Of most importance for us are the so-called patient reported outcome measures (= PROM’s).

We use the following standardized assessments:

COPM (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure)
GRT (Grasp and Release Test)
ARMA (Arm Activity Measure)
MRC Muscle score for strength

The assessments are performed at defined time points before and after the operation, usually preoperative and 6 and 12 months postoperative.
