| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
The MAP-Hand is an 18-item patient-reported measure of hand function in activity performance that has undergone a rigorous process of initial testing. The results show that the MAP-Hand is a valid and reliable instrument for use in patients with RA. |
| Number of Items | 18 |
| Range | 1-4 |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes No difficulty (1) Some difficulty (2) Great difficulty (3) Not able to do (4) |
| Developed for | Both |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | --- |
| Recommendations to score |
MAP-Hand assesses 18 activities performed using the hands, which are scored on a 1–4 scale and summarised into a total score range (18 to 72). |
| Score Interpretation | Lower scores indicate better function |
| Cut-off points | --- |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | 2 minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | 0 minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | Not widely used |
