Intervention

Behavioral:
• Shoulder disability
Shoulder disability was evaluated with Patient-specific functional scale, the disabilities of the shoulder, arm and hand questionnaire, and the upper extremity functional index. First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first. Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Device:
• Shoulder Range of Motion
Shoulder range of motion was evaluated with universal goniometer. First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first. Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Behavioral:
• Pain Intensity
Pain intensity was evaluated with Numeric Pain Rating Scale. First assessment was applied when patients came to physical therapy clinic at first. Second assessment was repeated after 6 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Disability	Disability was evaluated with Patient-Specific Functional Scale.Patients nominate 3 to 5 activities that they are unable to do or having difficulty doing because of their injury or problem. These activities are rated on an 11-point scale, where 0 is unable to perform the activity and 10 is able to perform the activity at preinjury level.	6 weeks
Primary	Activity Limitation	Activity limitation was evaluated with The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand. Scale score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability).	6 weeks
Primary	Functional Disorder	Disability was evaluated with Upper-Extremity Functional Index.Twenty prescribed upper extremity activities are rated by patients according to a 5-point scale, where 0 is extreme difficulty or unable to perform the activity, and 4 is no difficulty. Higher scores mean better outcome scores.	6 weeks
Secondary	Pain Intensity	Pain was evaluated with Numeric Pain Rating Scale. It requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.	6 weeks
Secondary	Range of Motion	Shoulder range of motion was evaluated with universal goniometer	6 weeks
