permission provided that the original article is clearly cited. Background: The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is an internationally widely used outcome measure with robust, valid psychometric properties. The determined values were satisfactory and supportive of the findings of the ULFI as a 3-point scale, particularly in the areas of internal consistency, factor structure and reliability. It has two, 4-item, optional modules used to measure symptoms and function in athletes, artists, and workers who require a high level of function. Possible range on the UEFI 20-item from 0 80 with 0 indicating lowest functional status and 80 indicating highest functional status. Results: Disclaimer. The ULFI-Sp demonstrated high internal consistency ( = 0.94) and reliability (r = 0.93). Introduction The Upper Limb Functional Index . Disclaimer. The KaiserMeyerOklin test determined the correlation matrix (0.889) for the ULFI-Sp in female BCS and the Bartletts Test of Sphericity (chi-squared value = 2087.167 and df 300, The ULFI-Sp showed a high degree consistency, as illustrated by the high Cronbach value ( = 0.916) with an individual item range between 0.868 and 0.875.

The Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) [1416] and the shortened QuickDASH [17] version are two prominent examples.
Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of Spanish SPADI and The psychometric properties were as follows: analysis of the factor structure by maximum likelihood extraction (MLE), internal consistency, and construct validity by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This indicated that the correlation matrix was unlikely to be an identity matrix and was therefore suitable for PCA. ; Mahar, A.L. 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2006.03.012, Lehman LA, Woodbury M, Velozo CA: Examination of the factor structure of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire. 10.1157/13093053. The developed short version of the ULFI-SP is preferable to assess upper limb function in Spanish BCS. The ULFI-Sp demonstrated high internal consistency (=0.94) and reliability (r=0.93). Given the high prevalence of ULD in this population and the wider versions of ULFI across different languages, this studys results may be transferred to clinical practice and integrated as part of upper limb assessment after breast cancer.
