DASH Outcome Measure

The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome Measure

The DASH Outcome Measure is the most popular clinical tool developed by Institute researchers. It is a 30-item, self-report questionnaire that measures physical function and symptoms in people with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. The tool gives clinicians and researchers the advantage of having a single, reliable instrument that can be used to assess any or all joints in the upper extremity.
