Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain. Timepoint: Pre-test( before the start of the study) and post-test(at the end of the study). Method of measurement: The pain variable was measured by a visual pain intensity scale.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Disability. Timepoint: Pre-test (before the start of the study) and post-test (at the end of the study). Method of measurement: The DASH questionnaire was used to assess functional impairment in daily activities.;Muscle strength. Timepoint: Pre-test (before the start of the study) and post-test (at the end of the study). Method of measurement: Shoulder muscle strength during internal and external rotation was assessed in a concentric–concentric mode using an isokinetic dynamometer under standardized laboratory conditions.;Joint position sense. Timepoint: Pre-test (before the start of the study) and post-test (at the end of the study). Method of measurement: Active proprioception of the shoulder during internal and external rotation was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer.	—
