Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Effects of high intensity laser therapy in increasing of shoulder range of motion. Timepoint: Measurement of shoulder range of motion in the first study and after 12 sessions of laser therapy. Method of measurement: Goniometry.;The effect of high power laser on pain relief in people with shoulder tendonitis will be determined. Timepoint: Measurement of shoulder pain in the first study and after 12 sessions of laser therapy. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.;The effect of high power laser on decreasing sub acromial fluid around the tendon in people with rotator cuff tendonitis will be determined based on ultrasound images. Timepoint: Measurement of subacromial fluid around the tendon in the first study and after 12 sessions of laser therapy. Method of measurement: Musculoskeletal ultrasound.;The effect of a powerful laser on returning to the daily activities of people with shoulder tendonitis will be determined. Timepoint: Return to daily activity at baseline and after 12 sessions of laser therapy. Method of measurement: Shoulder pain and disability questionnaire.	—
