Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Lateral Scapular Slide Test. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention as final reading. Method of measurement: Scapular distance was measured using 8inch ruler from inferior angle of scapula to the adjacent vertebrae (T7/T8). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| QuickDASH score. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention and final reading was taken at 4th week after intervention. Method of measurement: Disability score was calculated of each individual by the formula given on QuickDASH questionnaire. | — |
