Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Supraspinatus tendon tear size. Timepoint: Before and 48 hours after end of treatment. Method of measurement: The tear size is measured by ultrasound.;Glenohumeral superior translation. Timepoint: Before and 48 hours after end of treatment. Method of measurement: Superior translation of the humeral head is measured by the motion analysis system. | — |
