Introduction. Injuries of the hand and wrist account for approximately 20% of all injuries seen in adults. It is important to gain insight in the disabilities associated with hand and wrist injuries from a patient’s point of view, using Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM’s). The Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) was developed as a PROM to evaluate pain and functional difficulties after hand or wrist injuries. Objective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct validity, test-retest reliability, and responsiveness of the Dutch version of the PRWE (PRWE-NL) in trauma patients with isolated hand or wrist injuries. Method. A total of 352 patients completed four questionnaires (PRWE, DASH, SF-20a, and SF-36) to assess construct validity. To assess test-retest reliability, 168 patients completed the PRWE questionnaire. After two months, 128 patients completed the four questionnaires again to assess responsiveness. Results. Construct validity was found to be good with an 85% confirmation of the a priori formulated hypotheses. The test-retest reliability was excellent for both the total score and subscales (ICC 0.952 – 0.969). Its internal consistency was high with Cronbach’s Alphas of 0.952 – 0970. Responsiveness was moderate to good with a 75% confirmation of the a priori formulated hypotheses. Conclusion. In conclusion, the PRWE-NL is a reliable, valid, and responsive measurement for assessing pain and function in trauma patients after hand or wrist injuries.
