Abstract：
:Self-reporting scales are commonly utilized in determining appropriate treatment strategies and follow-up in hand-related disorders. Responsiveness is described as the ability of a scale to detect clinically significant changes. We aimed to evaluate responsiveness of Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ), Duruöz Hand Index (DHI), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and ABILHAND questionnaire in stroke patients. Fifty-one stroke patients were assessed in this descriptive study. Participants received conventional stroke rehabilitation program consisting of 30 sessions. Brunnstrom stages of the stroke patients were recorded before and after treatment. MHQ, DHI, DASH, ABILHAND questionnaire and patient satisfaction scores were filled in by participants before and after the conventional rehabilitation program. Significant improvements were found in MHQ, DHI, DASH, ABILHAND, patient satisfaction scores and Brunnstrom motor recovery stages after the rehabilitation program (p < 0.001). Responsiveness values of the scales were calculated as MHQ (effect size (ES) = - 0.74; standardized response mean (SRM) = - 1.25), DHI (ES = 0.64; SRM = 1.22), DASH (ES = 0.71; SRM = 1.01), and ABILHAND (ES = - 0.55; SRM = - 1.22). Our study revealed that MHQ, DHI, DASH and ABILHAND are responsive scales in detecting treatment-related changes in stroke patients. MHQ, DHI, DASH and ABILHAND can be used in the evaluation of treatment responses in stroke patients.
