Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects patient-reported outcome questionnaires and performs clinician-administered physical examinations to compare perceived manual ability with objective functional measurements. Participants are adults who have sustained a hand and/or forearm injury or undergone related surgery and who meet the study's exclusion criteria. The investigators will analyze correlations between subjective scores and clinical metrics to determine how well self-report aligns with measurable function. Findings may inform how patient-reported measures are used in follow-up and rehabilitation planning.
