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 validation project enrolls adults with a history of unilateral or bilateral hand burns who can read Turkish. Participants complete the Turkish BHOT and the QuickDASH questionnaire and provide sociodemographic information. Objective measures including hand grip strength with a dynamometer and sensory testing are collected, with some participants repeating the BHOT to test test-retest reliability. Statistical analyses will examine internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity by comparing BHOT scores with objective hand function measures.
