Information about the measurement properties of the Dutch versions is scarce. OBJECTIVE: To gain insight into the measurement properties of the Dutch language versions of the QuickDASH and the PRWHE in patients with (non)specific complaints of the hand, wrist, forearm and elbow. METHODS: Internal consistency, construct validity, test-retest reliability, responsiveness, and floor and ceiling effects were assessed according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) recommendations. RESULTS: Questionnaires were filled out by 132 patients. Internal consistency of QuickDASH (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1= 0.92) and PRWHE (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1= 0.97) was high. Predefined hypotheses for construct validity were not confirmed for 75% for both QuickDASH and PRWHE (accordance with 62% of predefined hypotheses for both questionnaires). Test-retest reliability of QuickDASH (ICC = 0.90) and PRWHE (ICC = 0.87) was good. Both QuickDASH (AUC = 0.84) and PRWHE (AUC = 0.80) showed good responsiveness. No floor or ceiling effects were present. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement properties of the Dutch language versions of the QuickDASH and the PRWHE, applied to patients with (non)specific complaints of the hand, wrist, forearm and elbow, were very similar. Test-retest reliability and responsiveness were good for both QuickDASH and PRWHE. Construct validity could not be demonstrated sufficiently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/bmr-230225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,19]],"date-time":"2024-01-19T11:34:55Z","timestamp":1705664095000},"page":"871-881","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Measurement properties of the Dutch versions of QuickDASH and PRWHE in patients with complaints of hand, wrist, forearm and elbow"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Redmar J.","family":"Berduszek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michiel F.","family":"Reneman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rienk","family":"Dekker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corry K.","family":"van der Sluis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BMR-230225_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e318160a8b4","article-title":"Prevalence and characteristics of complaints of the arm, neck, and\/or shoulder (CANS) in the open population","volume":"24","author":"Huisstede","year":"2008","journal-title":"The Clinical Journal of Pain."},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/BMR-230225_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1114","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000000488","article-title":"Long-term patterns of chronic complaints of the arms, neck, and shoulders and their determinants\u00a0\u2013 the Doetinchem Cohort Study","volume":"157","author":"van Hulst","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pain."},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/BMR-230225_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-11-178","article-title":"What are the important components of the clinical assessment of hand problems in older adults in primary care?
