Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change in the thickness of supraspinatus tendon | before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment | Ultrasonography |
| change in pain intesity | before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment , score from 0-10 ,0=no pain , 10= unbearable pain | VAS ( visual analog scale score) |
| Change in shoulder range of motion | before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment | electro goniometer |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Function of the Upper Limb | before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment, it measure the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5) | Quick DASH Questionnaire score |
| measure weight in kg and height in cm | before starting the assessment | Weight and height scale for determining BMI |
