Upper Extremity PDF

The document describes the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI), a questionnaire used to assess difficulty with various everyday activities of the upper limbs. The UEFI lists 20 activities and asks patients to rate difficulty with each on a 5-point scale from 0 (extreme difficulty/unable) to 4 (no difficulty). Total scores can range from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating less difficulty across activities. A minimum change of 9 points is considered detectable.
