In the MPUT evaluation, the OA group presented a statistically significant difference from the control group. The OA group spent more time executing test. The grip and pinch strength measurements showed higher values for the control group. The OA group reported a greater difficulty than the control group in performing the test.CONCLUSION:
The MPUT is a short and easy to apply test, which can be safely used to assess the functional performance of the hand OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.Palavras-chave
