OBJECTIVE: The @entity1 -Rated Wrist Evaluation ( @entity1619 ) scale is a self-administered outcome questionnaire used to determine level of @entity158 and disability in wrist problems. The scale includes @entity158 ( @entity1619 -P) and function ( @entity1619 -F) subscales, the latter consisting of specific function ( @entity1619 -SF) and usual ( @entity1619 -UF) function. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish versionof the @entity1619 scale. METHODS: Permission was sought and received from the original author of the @entity1619 for a Turkish translation for use in the study. The study included 110 @entity1 (85 female and 25 male; mean age: 50.8  1.53 years; range: 18 to 85) with @entity174 , @entity923 , wrist ganglion cyst, @entity8806 , @entity66 , and connective lesions affecting the wrist, all of whom completed the Turkish version of both the @entity1619 ( @entity1619 ) and the Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand scale (DASH). Reliability and validity of the @entity1619 scale were evaluated via an internal consistency analysis and a factor analysis respectively. The level of correlation between @entity1619 and DASH scores was also examined. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.86, 0.82 and 0.88 for @entity1619 -P, @entity1619 -F and @entity1619 respectively for the scale and all subscales. The @entity1619 scale was found to be highly reliable. A statistically significant correlation was found between @entity1619 and DASH in the criterion-related validity analysis (Spearman's rho=0.9). CONCLUSION: The @entity1619 was found to be valid and reliable. It is therefore suggested for use in evaluating @entity1 -based @entity158 and disability levels in routine clinical practice.
