Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand
The Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score consists of 30 questions and is used to assess functional disorders of the upper extremity. The possible score ranges from 0 to 100 points. 0 points represent a complete, unrestricted function of the upper extremities, while 100 points represent the greatest possible functional impairment.
