Objective[edit | edit source]
The Upper extremity functional index (UEFI) is a self-report outcome measure used to assess functionality in the upper extremities in individuals with upper limb dysfunction of musculoskeletal origin.[1] The UEFI consists of 20 questions on a 5- point rating scale assessing level of difficulty in performing activities of daily living using the upper extremities.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
The UEFI is intended for use in individuals with upper extremity including the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand dysfunction of musculoskeletal origin.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The Upper extremity functional index is easy to administer. Patients respond to each item by circling a number that best describes their level of difficulty. Item scores range from 0 to 4, and the total score is a total of the item scores. Possible range 0 – 80 with 0 indicating lowest functional status and 80 indicating highest functional status. The minimum amount of change considered to be clinically significant is 9 points.
