Primary outcomes

  1. VAS and goniometer

    Time frame: 4 months

    Visual analog scaleThe Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right (extreme pain) and universal goniometer to measure the range of motion, an instrument that measures angle motion at a joint.

Secondary outcomes

  1. DASH questionaire

    Time frame: 4 months

    The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms.
