Comparison of Upper Extremity and Lower Extremity Function and Quick DAS

Patient reported outcome measure (PROM) are a method by which to assess outcomes from a patient perspective. The QuickDASH is a commonly used PROM. QDASH was validated against grip strength and ability work, however not against its ability to actually measure what it sets forth to measure (ie: patient's ability to use a hammer, carry a shopping bag, wash a wall, etc). The purpose of this study is to correlate the self-reported QDASH with patients' ability to perform the functions on the QDASH and compare to a control group who completes the task on a lower extremity PROM, KOOS JR.
