The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire booklet including the Persian DASH, the Short Form General Health Survey (SF-36) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain. In addition, 31 randomly selected patients were asked to complete the questionnaire 48 hours later for the second time. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the Persian DASH was 0.96. The Persian DASH showed excellent test\u2014retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient equal to 0.82 (P&lt;0.01). The correlation between the Persian DASH and the functional scales of the Iranian SF-36 showed desirable results indicating a good convergent validity (Pearson's coefficients ranged from -0.25 to -0.72; P&lt;0.001). The correlation between the Persian DASH and the visual analogue scale was 0.52 (P&lt;0.01). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: The Persian DASH is a reliable and valid instrument to measure functional status in Persian-speaking patients with upper extremity disorders in Iran. It is simple and easy to use and now can be applied in clinical settings and future outcome studies in Iran and other Persian-speaking communities. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215508085821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,4]],"date-time":"2008-08-04T09:53:32Z","timestamp":1217843612000},"page":"749-757","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Cultural adaptation and validation of the Persian version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) outcome measure"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Sayed Javad","family":"Mousavi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamad","family":"Parnianpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohsen","family":"Abedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Therapy Clinic, Milad Hospital, Tehran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmadreza","family":"Askary-Ashtiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Paramedical Sciences, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdolkarim","family":"Karimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Musculoskeletal Research Center, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aliakbar","family":"Khorsandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hossein","family":"Mehdian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Spinal Studies and Surgery, Nottingham University Hospitals, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.57.11.649"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/keh598"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1016\/S0894-1130(01)80043-0","volume":"14","author":"Beaton DE","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Hand Ther"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(03)00026-X"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.blo.0000079771.06654.13"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"1044","volume":"69","author":"Deyo RA","year":"1988","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gaitpost.2006.06.016"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198103000-00002","volume":"155","author":"Amstutz HC","year":"1981","journal-title":"Clin Orthop"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198701000-00023","volume":"214","author":"Constant CR","year":"1987","journal-title":"Clin Orthop"},{"key":"atypb10","unstructured":"Morrey BF, An KN, Chao EYS.
