Treatment and study plan

Shoulder disability

Behavioral

Shoulder disability was evaluated with Patient-specific functional scale, the disabilities of the shoulder, arm and hand questionnaire, and the upper extremity functional index.

First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first.

Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Shoulder Range of Motion

Device

Shoulder range of motion was evaluated with universal goniometer. First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first.

Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Pain Intensity

Behavioral

Pain intensity was evaluated with Numeric Pain Rating Scale. First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first.

Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Disability

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Disability was evaluated with Patient-Specific Functional Scale.Patients nominate 3 to 5 activities that they are unable to do or having difficulty doing because of their injury or problem. These activities are rated on an 11-point scale, where 0 is unable to perform the activity and 10 is able to perform the activity at preinjury level.

  2. Activity Limitation

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Activity limitation was evaluated with The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand. Scale score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability).

  3. Functional Disorder

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Disability was evaluated with Upper-Extremity Functional Index.Twenty prescribed upper extremity activities are rated by patients according to a 5-point scale, where 0 is extreme difficulty or unable to perform the activity, and 4 is no difficulty. Higher scores mean better outcome scores.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain Intensity

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Pain was evaluated with Numeric Pain Rating Scale. It requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

  2. Range of Motion

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Shoulder range of motion was evaluated with universal goniometer
