Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Intervention / Treatment

Patient with a shoulder problem; Patients with shoulder problems between 18-65 years of age and being volunteered

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
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
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
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 Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
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
Range of Motion	Shoulder range of motion was evaluated with universal goniometer	6 weeks
