A Shortened Upper Extremity Functional Capacity Evaluation for Patients with Complaints of Hand, Wrist, Forearm, and Elbow: Composition and Assessment of Construct Validity and Test–Retest Reliability
The shortened UE-FCE with fewer trials per test agreed strongly with the original UE-FCE. Using the shortened UE-FCE could save 18 min. Construct validity differed per UE-FCE test. Test-retest reliability was sufficient for all UE-FCE tests except fingertip dexterity of the dominant hand.
