  1. BMHQ (Brief Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire) includes 12 questions divided into following 6 domains: overall function, daily life activities (ADL), work performance, pain, esthetics and satisfaction. The score of every item is normalized on a scale from 0 (poorest function) to 100 (ideal function) as the formula: 100 × (BMHQ original score −1)/4. The total score is the average of every item [18]
