The hand is an important body structure for the individual's interaction with the environment, also used for communication, expressiveness and creativity. Thus, flexor tendon injuries not only cause loss of physical autonomy but can also generate psychological, emotional and quality of life impacts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between the functional results …
Work-related disorders (WMSDs) most often involve the upper limbs and lumbar spine. Ergonomic work analysis uses checklists and questionnaires to classify risk factors and thus propose preventive measures. Objective: Analyze the validity and reliability of the HARM-Br; carry out a systematic review and conduct an E-survey to find out which are the validated ergonomic tools most used by he…
ntroduction: Upper limb dysfunctions can cause devastating damage to both physical structures and the ability to perform meaningful activities. The assessment allows understanding the functional status through self-report questionnaires and performance tests to propose an appropriate treatment. Objective: To analyze the measurement properties of the Jebsen Taylor Hand Functional Test (JTH…
The hands have several important functions in the human life, therefore, they allow to perform movements with smoothness, precision and coordination. Their functionality can be defined as the ability to engage in daily activities, considering the harmonious work of anatomical integrity, sensation, coordination, strength, and dexterity.Furthermore, their dexterity can be defined as the vol…
Introduction: Lower limb amputation has a high worldwide incidence and occurs due to different etiologies. Prosthetic satisfaction is important, as it interferes with the patient's adherence to the rehabilitation process, helps to optimize the use of the prosthesis and reduces rejection. While the use of the prosthesis helps to compensate for functional losses, it contributes to mobility …

Background: The upper limb is fundamental in daily life, and hand injuries can have physical, psychological, and social consequences. Patients' perceptions of their injury vary according to multidimensional factors, which influence their recovery process (HANNAH, 2020; SANTOS et al., 2023). It is crucial to carry out comprehensive assessments, especially regarding patient-reported outcome…
Introduction: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) are diseases that affect the upper limbs, lower limbs, or spine and are directly related to the different demands of tasks, physical environments, and the organisation of the body. There are different ways to measure and assess the risk, such as direct or indirect methods such as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) questio…
Musculoskeletal system provides coordinated movements. Their components are interdependent and motor-sensory integrity is fundamental for an efficient joint stability and in special, the upper extremity has structures that are responsible for performing daily life activities, especially dependent of the wrist and hand. It is well defined that musculoskeletal assessment is the basis for an…
