The patient-rated wrist and hand evaluation was successfully translated to the Slovenian language

The patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are nowadays considered a constituent part of the rehabilitation assessment. With the aim of reliably comparing the results among different studies, widely used outcome measures are to be encouraged for the assessment. To overcome the language and cultural differences, the PROM must follow the uniform cross-cultural translation procedure to ensure the translated version assesses the same construct as the original version. The Patient-Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) is one of the widely used PROMs in the hand rehabilitation.
