Pulse is the software platform which we use to collect our data. The Pulse dataset is comprised out of 8 dedicated measurement tracks containing data on:

​

• Medical, demographic and psychological characteristics of patients with hand and wrist disorders.

• Details on the (non)surgical treatment and the type and amount of hand therapy.

• Outcomes (PROM data) measured at baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 month after start of treatment.

• Description of experiences during the healthcare process (PREM data).

​

Data is collected as part of the regular healthcare process at Xpert Clinics Hand-en polszorg and Xpert Handtherapie, shown here on the right. Xpert Clinics Hand- en polszorg and Xpert Handtherapie are a group of clinics providing specialized primairy (PT and OT) and secondary care (surgery and rehab) for hand and wrist disorders.
