The upper limb functional index is broadly used outcome measure for musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. The psychometric properties were as follows: analysis of the factor structure by maximum likelihood extraction (MLE), internal consistency, and construct validity by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Construct validity and factor structure were determined through the use of questionnaire principal component analysis (PCA) with the a-priori requirements for extraction being the satisfaction of all three points: screeplot inflection point, Eigenvalue>1.0 and accounting for >10% of variance.
