Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Quick DASH

  Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand: The Quick DASH is a 11-item questionnaire used to assess upper limb functionality. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability).

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up

• NPRS

  Numeric Pain Rating Scale: The pain was measured using a NPRS. Patients are asked to rate their pain ranging from 0 to 10 (0: no pain, 10: the worst pain imaginable)

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• ASES

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up

• Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up

• BPI-SF

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up

• PCS

  baseline, after 6 weeks and 6 weeks follow up
