Introduction [edit | edit source]

Currently there is no international consensus on what measures to use for tetraplegic upper limb function. [1] The use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) established by the World Health Organisation can assist in ensuring that measurement encompasses all domains of functioning and provide a common language of describing an individual functioning following illness or accident. [2]  To provide a complete picture of an individual’s functioning use of multiple measures that encompass the three domains of the ICF are recommended.  Commonly used measures are detailed in below and described fully in Sinnott et al (2016). [3] International efforts are currently underway to establish consensus on standardising key body functions and structure measures such as muscle strength testing, and grip and pinch dynamometry. [4]
