Relationship of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale to commonly used clinical measures in hand osteoarthritis.

Study Design: Prospective cohort correlation study.

Introduction: There is no known published research on correlations between the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), hand grip strength, and the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) in a population with hand osteoarthritis (OA).

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish reliability of the PSFS and to evaluate the relationship between the PSFS, hand grip strength, and the DASH for a population with hand OA.
