Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire 2. UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale 3. Rowe Score for Instability Identical care program for rehabilitation was done in each of compared groups. Following enrolment in the study, all the participants were assessed every week during the first 2 weeks and at the 4th and 8th weeks; thereafter, monthly until the final examination. All primary and secondary outcomes were reported. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Range of movement: passive range of motion measurements, specifically forward flexion and internal and external rotation at 90° of abduction, were recorded and compared with the patients' nonoperative side. Identical care program for rehabilitation was done in each of compared groups. Following enrolment in the study, all the participants were assessed every week during the first 2 weeks and at the 4th and 8th weeks; thereafter, monthly until the final examination.
