Synthesis of the assessed outcomes and their measurements in studies included in the review.

Outcome	Definition	Measurements Used in each Selected Study
Grip strength (GS)	GS and tip GS refer to the maximum concentric force possessed by the hand muscles, as well as the force necessary to grasp small objects with the thumb and index finger, respectively	Manual or hydraulic dynamometer, measured in kilograms (kg) or Newton
Tip grip strength
Functional capacity in daily living activities (dla) and self-care	Ability of an individual to perform DLAs and self-care tasks without the need for supervision, direction or assistance from other people	ABILHAND-kids
		“Self-care” domain of Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Index (PEDI)
		Children Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ)
Upper extremity (ue) dissociated movements	Ability to move one part of the body (in this case the UE) independently of others	“Dissociated movements” domain of the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST)
Gross motor dexterity (gmd)	GMD involves the movement of large muscle groups where precision of movements is not as important as in fine motor dexterity	Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT)
		Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test (MMDT)
		Box and Block test
Fine motor dexterity (fmd)	FMD involves the movement of small muscles that require eye-hand coordination to carry out very precise tasks	Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2)
		Nine Hole Peg Test
		“Eye-hand coordination” of the Korean Developmental Test of Visual Perception (KDTVP)
Grasping ability	Ability of the hand to effectively grasp objects and to maintain a stable grip when the arm is in motion and in the absence of external forces	“Grip” domain of the QUEST
