Functional Evaluation Committee of the Japan Elbow Society Information on the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation Method
The Functional Evaluation Committee of the Japan Elbow Society developed the Japanese version (PREE-J) of the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PREE), a sister version of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) developed by MacDermid DC, Canada. The PREE-J is a sister version of the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PRWE). An article on the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the PREE-J has recently been published in the JOS. We hope you will download the PREE-J and User's Guide and use it widely as a patient-oriented evaluation method for patients with elbow disorders.
Please cite the following three articles when writing your paper.
