Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VAS and goniometer4 monthsVisual analog scaleThe Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right (extreme pain) and universal goniometer to measure the range of motion, an instrument that measures angle motion at a joint.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
DASH questionaire4 monthsThe disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100
