Hand functional capacity in women with systemic sclerosis using the Glittre-ADL-Shelf test: Relationship with demographics, body composition, hand function, physical function, digital dexterity, muscle strength and lung function
In women with systemic sclerosis, there is a deterioration in impaired hand functional capacity as measured by TGlittre-S. In these patients, the longer the TGlittre-S time, the worse the handgrip strength, digital dexterity, and physical function. As TGlittre-S is easy to perform and does not require much space, its incorporation into clinical practice is promising and may be considered as an outcome measure for future studies in systemic sclerosis.
