DASH questionnaire

The DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) questionnaire is a self-assessment tool that helps measure the impact of arm, shoulder, or hand problems on daily life. It consists of questions about difficulty performing everyday activities, severity of symptoms like pain or tingling, and the effect on work or sports. Patients complete the questionnaire to provide their healthcare provider with information about their condition, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring recovery. It is a reliable and standardized way to understand how musculoskeletal issues affect an individual’s functionality.
