- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Grip Strength Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. Grip strenght was examined using a hand dynamometer (Lafayette Proffessional Hand Held Dynamometer, USA).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Two-Point Pinch Strength Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).
Three-Point Pinch Strength Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).
Lateral Pinch Strength Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).
DASH score Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. The DASH score provides information about the general functionality of the upper extremity and especially activities of hand.
Wrist Joint Position Sense Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020. Wrist joint position sense was evaluated by goniometric re-position error test ( in 30◦ wrist extansion, 3 repeat ).
