Duruöz Hand Index (DHI)
The DHI is a self-reporting scale for the evaluation of hand functions,
which was first developed in 1996 for patients with rheumatoid
arthritis. It consists of 18 items in 5 domains of kitchen tasks,
personal hygiene, dressing, office tasks, and others. Each item is
scored between 0-5, to give a total score of 0-90, with higher scores
indicating increased hand disability. 13
