Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Subluxation degree by physical examination	A clinician measured the gap between the acromion and the humeral head with the fingerbreadth at the distal interphalangeal joint of the right index and middle fingers	0-3weeks
Primary	Subluxation degree by radiograph	The anterio-posterior shoulder X-ray was taken in an erect position, and subluxation was evaluated by Van Langenberghe's five point classification.	0-3weeks
Primary	physical examination	Passive range of motion (Flexion and Abduction)	0-3weeks
Secondary	Evaluation of the pain of the shoulder	Pain with motion was measured by a verbal descriptive pain scale. The VDPS was developed by Melzack and Katz and is composed of words such as "mild" (level 1) to "very severe pain" (level 5)	0-3weeks
Secondary	Evaluation of Daily life activities	Daily life activities were evaluated using the Katz index of independence in activities of daily living, which evaluates the patients in bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and eating. Activities were scored as zero or one with the total score ranging from zero to six. Higher scores are related with higher independency.	0-3weeks
