MeasureTime frame
Glenohumeral internal rotation range of motion. Timepoint: Before intervention and 2 week after intervention. Method of measurement: We used a manual Goniometer to measure the range of motion of the involved shoulder and DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) Questionnaire is used to indicate the impact of an impairment on the level and disability.
