Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of the study is pain intensity. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately after the end of the intervention (2 weeks after the start of the intervention). Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to evaluate the outcome of pain intensity. In this scale, there is a horizontal segment where the left end of the segment indicates the absence of pain and the right end of the segment indicates the maximum possible pain intensity experienced by the patient.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Passive range of motion. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately after the end of the intervention (2 weeks after the start of the intervention). Method of measurement: Passive range of motion is measured with a goniometer. It has been reported that the range of motion measured by the goniometer has high reliability.;Shoulder disability. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately after the end of the intervention (2 weeks after the start of the intervention). Method of measurement: The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is used to evaluate the shoulder disability. This questionnaire contains 13 questions in two sections: pain (5 questions) and disability (8 questions). The overall score is calculated out of 100 and the higher the score, the greater the pain intensity and disability level of the patient. The Persian version of this questionnaire has been confirmed in terms of cultural compatibility, reliability and responsiveness.;Shoulder disability. Timepoint: Before the intervention, immediately after the end of the intervention (2 weeks after the start of the intervention). Method of measurement: The Shortened Disability of Arm, Shoulder, Hand (Quick DASH) questionnaire is used to evaluate the shoulder disability.
