Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Shoulder joint strength. Timepoint: Measuring the strength variable in the pre-test and measuring it again after the training period in the post-test. Method of measurement: Using a hand-held dynamometer in internal and external shoulder rotation movements.;Shoulder joint range of motion. Timepoint: Measuring the range of motion variable in the pre-test and measuring it again after the training period in the post-test. Method of measurement: Using a universal goniometer in internal and external shoulder rotation movements.;Shoulder joint proprioception. Timepoint: Measuring the proprioception variable in the pre-test and measuring it again after the training period in the post-test. Method of measurement: Using a digital inclinometer to measure the error rate of reconstructing the 90-degree abduction angle.;Upper limb function. Timepoint: Measuring the Upper limb function variable in the pre-test and measuring it again after the training period in the post-test. Method of measurement: By CKCUEST test.;Scapulo-humeral rhythm. Timepoint: Measuring the Scapulo-humeral rhythm variable in the pre-test and measuring it again after the training period in the post-test. Method of measurement: By two digital inclinometers.	—
