AB  - This study aimed to examine the responsiveness of the Arabic Disabilities of the 
      Arm, Shoulder and Hand short version (Quick-DASH) in patients with upper 
      extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Participants with upper extremity 
      musculoskeletal disorders (N = 88) under physical therapy care were assessed at 
      initial visit and later at a follow-up visit, and they completed the Arabic 
      Quick-DASH, DASH, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Global Assessment of Function 
      (GAF), and the Global Rating of Change Scale (GRC). Responsiveness of the Arabic 
      Quick-DASH was assessed by examining six pre-defined hypotheses. Consistent with 
      the pre-defined hypotheses, the Arabic Quick-DASH changes scores exhibited 
      significant positive correlation with the change in DASH (r = 0.98), GAF (r = 
      0.67), NPRS (r = 0.72), and the GRC (r = 0.78). As hypothesized, the Arabic 
      Quick-DASH showed a large effect size above the pre-determined level (ES = 1.61, 
      SRM = 1.49) in patients who reported improved upper extremity function. The 
      Arabic Quick-DASH change score discriminated between patients who reported 
      improvement versus no improvement in upper extremity function (area under the 
      receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.90). The results supported 100% (six 
      out of six) of the pre-defined hypotheses. The Arabic Quick-DASH demonstrated 
      sufficient responsiveness where all the pre-defined hypotheses were supported, 
      leading to the established validity of the Arabic Quick-DASH change score as a 
      measure of change in upper extremity function and symptoms. The minimal 
      importance change in the Arabic Quick-DASH needs to be determined in future 
      studies.
