Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Collect patient-reported outcome regarding pain and shoulder function by following shoulder specific scores: ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) Score, WORC (Western Ontario Rotator Cuff) Index, Constant Score, SST (Simple Shoulder Test) and VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) at following time points: study beginning, after 3 and 6 months	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Isometric measurement of muscle forces using electric dynamometer, record of shoulder range of motion (ROM) by neutral-zero-method, electromyographic measurement (surface EMG) of scapula-stabilizing muscles (M. trapezius ascendens und descendens, M. serratus anterior) at following time points: study beginning, after 3 and 6 months	—
