The following variables were considered as dependent variables: HAQ, DASH (general questions, symptons and functions in athletes, performing artists and workers) and dynamometry (manual grip, key pinch, three point pinch and pulp pinch strenght) for the right and left hands. The dependent variables were submitted to ANOVA with factor 2 (Intervention: ortesis, exercises and orientation; orientation) by 8 (group of orientation: 8 different groups of orientation) by 3 (Moment of evaluation: 1- first evaluation [initial], 2- second evaluation [after 1 year], 3- third evaluation [after 2 years]) with repeated measures in the last factor. In order to compare the pain scores in the evaluation moments, the Friedman test was used for the three questions of the DASH's pain module, in a separated moment. Post-hoc comparisons were carried out using Tukey-HSD test (p<0.05).
