Intervention

Control

Arm Description

The intervention group received 6 sessions of shoulder exercises controlled by a physiotherapist.

The control group received a paper explaining the same exercises which were performed by the intervention group. This group made the exercises at home.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Constant Murley Test
This test assesses daily activities.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Quick-DASH Test
This test assesses functional limitation in upper limb musculoskeletal disorders.
Pain NRS (numeric rating scale)
Instruct the patient to choose a number from 0 to 10 that best describes their current pain. 0 would mean 'No pain' and 10 would mean 'Worst possible pain'
Measurement of the average force
Average force: Measurement was assessed in newtons
