This single-center, retrospective, observational quantitative study included 110 adult patients with upper extremity burns. Perceived function was measured using the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH). Demographic and clinical data\u2014including burn mechanism, total body surface area, joint involvement, and discharge destination\u2014were collected. Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care Daily Activity scores and pain ratings were analyzed to assess relationships among perceived function, ADL performance, and pain. Patients reported poor perceived upper extremity function following acute burn injury, reflected by high QuickDASH scores. A greater proportion of patients demonstrated improvement rather than worsening in QuickDASH scores during hospitalization, with 54.3% showing improvement and 30.9% exceeding the minimal clinically important difference of 15.9 points; however, the overall change did not reach statistical significance. Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care Daily Activity scores improved significantly, increasing from a mean of 17.96 at evaluation to 19.86 at discharge (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were moderately correlated with pain (Spearman\u2019s r\u2009=\u20090.56, P\u2009=\u2009.004). Patients with upper extremity burns report substantial early functional limitations but demonstrate progress during hospitalization. Improvements in pain were significantly correlated with improvements in perceived upper extremity function. These findings may inform rehabilitation and the design of future research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irag160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T11:47:57Z","timestamp":1788954477000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating
