The QuickDASH is a shortened version of the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Outcome Measure. The QuickDASH uses 11 items from the full DASH to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 to 5), with higher scores indicating more severe upper extremity symptoms. The QuickDASH was linked to PROMIS Upper Extremity, which is composed of 46 items with higher scores indicating less severe upper extremity symptoms.

There are two crosswalk tables listed below. The new crosswalk table developed by Cizik et al. was created based on a large sample size (N = 18,944) of hand and upper-extremity patients. The older version was developed using a smaller sample of 656 patients with upper limb disorders. The two tables are very similar at the low-functioning end but show notable differences at the high-functioning end, likely due to the limited number of high-functioning patients in the smaller sample. Therefore, we recommend using the new Cizik et al. table while retaining the older version for reference.
