The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Upper Extremity Functional Index in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. This cross-sectional study included 101 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome at a university hospital. Patients were administered the Upper Extremity Functional Index, Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire surveys. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the Upper Extremity Fuctional Index were evaluated.
