Abstract
The authors offer a method of assessment of hand function which renders numerical data, in which all functions of the hand are represented with appropriate emphasis. The result of the examination is expressed as a percentage of perfect function. The method, which seems on first reading somewhat complicated, can be simplified very much with a computer aided work-up of data. The method is suggested first of all for the assessment of the results of healing in severe complex hand injuries. It is also suitable for the expression of hand function in all cases (for example, judgement of the decrease of working capacity and decisions on insurance claims, etc.).
