The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome
Measure is a 30-item, self-report questionnaire designed to measure
physical function and symptoms in patients with any or several
musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. The questionnaire was
designed to help describe the disability experienced by people with
upper-limb disorders and also to monitor changes in symptoms and
function over time. Testing has shown that the DASH performs well in
both these roles. It gives clinicians and researchers the advantage of
having a single, reliable instrument that can be used to assess any or
all joints in the upper extremity. The DASH Outcome Measure contains two
optional, four-item modules intended to measure symptoms and function
in athletes, performing artists and other workers whose jobs require a
high degree of physical performance. Because they may be having
difficulties only at high performance levels - which are beyond the scope
of the 30-item DASH Outcome Measure - clinicians may find the modules,
which are scored separately from the DASH, useful in assessing these
special patients.
Scoring the DASH Outcome Measure
The DASH Outcome Measure is scored in two components: the disability/symptom section (30 items, scored 1-5) and the optional high performance Sport/Music or Work section (4 items, scored 1-5).

Dash is unlike other cryptocurrency projects like Ethereum or Stratis which are more of a development platform.
Dash advocates itself as peer-to-peer decentralized electronic cash. It intends to be as liquid as real cash which we use in our respective countries like USD/GBP/EUR/INR or CNY.
Dash is built upon Bitcoins core code with the addition of new features (such as privacy and quick transactions).
Like BTC, Dash is open-source and has its own blockchain, wallet infrastructure, and community. But unlike BTC, its transaction fee is negligible.
Moreover, it looks like from the attitude of the development community that Dash will only remain as digital money for the internet, which is a good thing.
When And Why Was Dash Created?
Dash was created three years ago on 18 January 2014 by its developer Evan Duffield.
Dash was originally released as XCoin (XCO). In February 2014, the name was changed to
