Outcome

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