Brief Summary

To our knowledge, a Turkish version of the TASD questionnaire, frequently used for assessing TMC arthrosis worldwide, does not currently exist. Therefore, proper translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the tool are necessary for non-English speaking patients. This study aimed to develop the Turkish version of the TASD questionnaire, and to demonstrate its reliability and validity for use in patients with TMC arthrosis.

Keywords

Trapeziometacarpal arthrosis, cross-cultural adaptation, Turkish version, reliability, validity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Trapeziometacarpal Arthrosis Symptoms and Disability Questionnaire

  The TASD was developed by Becker et al. to evaluate symptom intensity, disability severity, and treatment effectiveness in individuals with TMC arthrosis

  7 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Thumb Disability Examination Questionnaire

  7 days

• Power Grip Strength and Pinch Strength

  7 days

• Visual Analogue Scale

  7 days

Study Arms (1)

Trapeziometacarpal arthrosis group

Patients aged 18 years or older, with a diagnosis of TMC arthrosis were included in the study.

Other: Validity and Reliability

Interventions

Validity and Reliability OTHER

The TASD questionnaire, the Thumb Disability Examination (TDX) questionnaire, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, as well as hand grip and pinch strength measurements using the Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer and Jamar Hydraulic Pinch Gauge Dynamometer were employed to assess thumb function and muscle strength. The questionnaires were administered twice, with a 7-day interval, during which no medical or rehabilitation intervention was made that could alter the clinical condition of the patients.
