  The Quick DASH is a condensed version of the Outcome Measure, 11 items instead of 30 that evaluates physical function and symptoms in individuals with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the UE. The Quick DASH (Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) is used regularly within the clinic I am currently in. I have seen it also used in the SNF but not to the extent that outpatient services utilizes it. Upon evaluation, the QuickDASH is introduced to the individual and the purpose is explained. Our purpose is that through therapy the score they receive on the initial form will decrease (become closer to zero). This score they receive is translated into the percentage that inhibits their daily function by their injury/disability/surgery. If this score ever goes up during a re-assessment, the issue needs to be re-evaluated, such as a follow-up with the doctor due to new injury, strain, over activity etc.
