The aim of this study is to examine the development of a conceptual framework and provide evidence for reliability of a comprehensive hand therapy evaluation score. This approach provides a new standardized tool for upper extremity (UE) evaluation. Components of Pain, Range of Motion (ROM), Edema, Sensibility, Strength (PRESS), and self-reported Function were combined to create a baseline. Each assessment tool used for the PRESS to Function Approach assists in determining appropriate interventions.

Primary | Development and Reliability of PRESS to Function Approach: A Systematic Method for Upper Extremity Assessment | The Development of the PRESS (pain, range of motion (ROM), edema, sensibility, strength) to Function Approach created a composite score. The PRESS to Function Composite Score combines subjective and objective measures to provide a single value to evaluate treatment prognosis. The six outcome measures (pain, ROM, edema, sensibility, strength, and function) were summed for 900 points to create a single score. The higher the score the less the overall disability. | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Pain Scale | Pain was measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and descriptors. The NPRS is indicative of a rating 0 through 10. The zero represents no pain and the 10 represents the worst imaginable pain | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Range of Motion (ROM) | For ROM, joints were measured with a goniometer. The unit of measurement is in degrees. Measurements range from 0 to 180 degrees. Each joint is compared to normative data. Zero represents the neutral and the least amount of motion. | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Edema | Edema considered both upper extremities (right and left) using a standard tape measure. The measurements were recorded according to units in centimeters (cm). Anatomical landmarks were chosen strategically for a ratio comparison as well as to establish baseline. Smaller numbers represent less edema or swelling. | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Sensibility | Sensibility was measured with Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments to determine sensory loss and touch pressure. The filaments are classified from grade 1 to 5 according to their thickness, where 5 represents the thinnest filament and 1 represents the largest filament: 1.65-2.83 = grade 5, 3.22-3.61 = grade 4, 3.84-4.31 = grade 3, 4.56-6.45 = grade 2, and 6.65 = grade 1 | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Strength (Grip and Pinch) | Measured with the dynamometer and the pinch gauge in pounds. The higher the the number the stronger the patient. Strength may range from 0 pounds (weak) to 200 pounds (strong).There will be a comparison in some cases with normative data based on age and gender | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol | |
Secondary | Function with Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) | The Quick DASH questionnaire is a Likert scale that uses 11 questions to measure the degree of difficulty in performing various physical activities. Due to a shoulder, arm, or hand problem questions address the severity of pain and tingling, the limitation on social activities, work, and sleep. All 11 self-report items must be completed to receive a score on a scale between 0-to-100 with the higher scores reflecting greater disability. | 4 weeks - 16 weeks depending on diagnosis and protocol |
