Abstract

The DASH (Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand) score is being used increasingly as an outcome measure for upper limb pathology. In our clinical practice the DASH score has been used to study the outcome of several common upper limb disorders. We reviewed the literature and applied the principles of the World Health Organization on this scoring system.
