Roberts-Thomson	The use of the hand anatomic index to assess deformity and impaired function in systemic sclerosis	2005.0	17	.pdf	application/pdf	2638	250	58	Highton and P.J. Roberts-Thomson The use of the hand anatomic index to assess To determine the "hand anatomic index" (HAI a quantitative measure of hand was determined in 30 patients with scleroderma and compared with hand deformity with increasing hand deformity and separated patients with diffuse scleroderma provide a valid clinical outcome measure in patients with this disabling disorder. Key words: Scleroderma, Hand Anatomic Index, Deformity, Functional A simple quantitative measurement of hand deformity in scleroderma would be a The HAI (m) was then correlated with hand deformity as assessed in a blinded significant correlation observed between the HAI (m) with other measures of hand In conclusion measurement of the HAI in patients with scleroderma reliably reflects hand deformity/functional impairment and might provide a valuable outcome measure Measurement of the HAI in scleroderma (and in rheumatoid arthritis) is a reliable and objective measure of hand deformity and functional impairment 	./cache/work_rhmgtwbiajdvhkv5jdzakwvzdq.pdf	./txt/work_rhmgtwbiajdvhkv5jdzakwvzdq.txt
