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 MSc OT (erg.), PhD(c), Dr. Bernadette Nedelec BSc OT, PhD, and the burn rehabilitation clinical team at Villa Medica Rehabilitation Hospital in Montreal.
This instructional video aims to help clinicians build, administer, and interpret the MPA 2.0. The instructions and scoring manuals are available on the following webpages in both English and French Canadian: www.mcgill.ca/spot/profession...
