Résumé anglais : The authors discuss the difficulties and limitations in functional evaluation of the hand and wrist. Assessment should be done prospectively by independent observers. The evaluation tests should be relevant to the patient's problem. Difficulties in interpretation of the results and in the choice of an adequate score are discussed. The authors present new techniques of functional evaluation used in Brussels: quantitative global functional evaluation using the 400-points score, electrogoniometric evaluation of the wrist, isokinetic and isometric wrist dynamometry, biomechanic evaluation of fracture healing using instrumented external fixation, and use of the DASH questionnaire.
