The Italian version of the Unite Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main (URAM) for Dupuytren's disease: The URAM-I(10).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several general hand functional assessment tools for Dupuytren's disease have been reported, but none of the patient-reported-outcome measures specific to Dupuytren's disease-associated disabilities are available in the Italian language.

Cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to the current guidelines. Construct validity (convergent and divergent validity) was measured by comparing the URAM-I with the Pain-Rated Wrist/Hand Evaluation (PRWHE-I), Short-Form 36 (SF-36-I) scale and finger range of motion, respectively. Factor analysis was used to investigate the URAM-I's interna
