The MacHAND performance assessment is a standardized hand function measure specifically aiming to evaluate patient’s ability to conduct daily function tasks with their hand.
This evaluation is aimed to be used with individuals 16 years old and older who present with any type of hand injury, condition, or impairment.
The MPA was originally created by occupational therapists in Ontario and an updated version (MPA 2.0) was then created by Zoë Edger-Lacoursière, erg., MSc OT, PhD(c), Bernadette Nedelec BSc OT, PhD, and the Burn Rehabilitation Clinical Team at the Villa Medica Rehabilitation Hospital in Montreal. This same team then created the French-Canadian version of this measure (MPA 2.0 FR) and created a new, English and French short form (MPA-S and MPA-SF).
If you have any questions on how to use these measures, please feel free to contact zoe.edger-lacoursiere [at] mail.mcgill.ca (Zoë Edger-Lacoursière) or bernadette.nedelec [at] mcgill.ca (Professor Bernadette Nedelec).
