QuickDASH: Reliability in the assessment of carpal tunnel syndrome

The QuickDASH questionnaire demonstrated high reliability for measuring upper limb function in carpal tunnel syndrome patients, though some questions showed variability in their responses. Despite its widespread use, the implementation of the QuickDASH in clinical practice shows room for improvement, particularly regarding practitioner understanding and handling of missing data. The increased use of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures should encourage us to develop more specific tools that are closer to patients' symptoms and functional requirements.
