Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Numerical pain rating scale	Change from Baseline in pain to 6 week	patients rate their pain from 0 to 10, from 0 to 20, or from 0 to 100. Zero represents no pain, whereas 10, 20, or 100 represents the opposite end of the pain continuum (e.g., the most intense pain imaginable, pain as intense as it could be, maximum pain).
Universal Goniometry	Change from Baseline in range of motion to 6 week	Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions.
Shoulder Pain and Functional Disability Index	Change from Baseline in disability to 6 week	The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of items grouped into pain and disability subscales.
