How is your wrist, in numbers?
The PRWE — Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation — is a validated 15-question score of wrist pain and function, used in research and clinics worldwide, particularly after wrist fractures. You'll describe your average wrist symptoms over the past week on 0–10 scales. Your result is calculated instantly and never leaves your browser — print it or bring the numbers to your appointment.
Please answer all questions. If you did not perform an activity in the past week, estimate the pain or difficulty you would expect. If you have never performed the activity, you may leave it blank.

Scores run from 0 (no pain or difficulty) to 100 (the worst), with pain and function weighted equally. There is no single cut-off that means treatment is needed — the score is a snapshot of this week. Published studies suggest a change of roughly 11–14 points out of 100 is a clinically meaningful difference, which is why repeating the score — during fracture recovery, or before and after treatment — is more informative than a single number.
If wrist pain or function is limiting work, sport or daily life, the right first step is your GP, who can examine you, arrange imaging where needed, and refer on if specialist review is warranted. Bring this score with you.
This questionnaire is an educational self-assessment, not a diagnosis, and does not replace a clinical assessment. Nothing you enter is transmitted or stored — the score is calculated on your device.
