Clinical Trial Summary

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian.

Description:

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian. This poses a problem when evaluating Italian speaking patients. Our aim is to develop a culturally adapted Italian version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire. There is no risk involved for the patients, as the task of the recruited patients is to answer a survey (online and in clinics).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Validity	Validity will be assessed as structural validity, i.e., "the degree to which the scores of the Health-Related Patient Reported Outcome (HR-PRO) are an adequate reflection of the dimensionality of the construct to be measured" (Mokkink et al., 2010).	3 months
Secondary	Reliability	Reliability will be assessed as internal consistency (i.e., "the degree of the interrelatedness among the items" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), test-retest reliability (i.e., "the proportion of the total variance in the measurements which is due to 'true' differences between patients" [Mokkink et al., 2010]), and measurement error (i.e., "the systematic and random error of a patient's score that is not attributed to true changes in the construct to be measured" [Mokkink et al., 2010]).	3 months
