Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Function
The Turkish version of the Shoulder, Arm and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH-T) will be used to assess the functional level of the upper extremity \[10\]. The DASH-T questionnaire consists of 30 questions. The first 20 questions ask about physical ability and the last 10 questions ask about pain and related functional and environmental limitations. As the score approaches zero, the functional level of the person is high; as the score moves away from zero, the functional level of the person is low.
Baseline
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Grip strength
Baseline
Motor imagery
Baseline
Two-point discrimination
Baseline
Interventions
The grip strength of the participants will be performed with a hydraulic hand dynamometer on a chair with back and arm support. The participant will be asked to squeeze the dynamometer with maximum force. The measurement will be performed 3 times and the average value will be recorded.
