Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test
Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
Used to assess upper extremity functions. Activities are evaluated on a time basis.
from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
visual analog scale (VAS)
Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
marks the severity of pain between 0 and 10.
from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
duruöz hand index
Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
kitchen work, evaluates cleaning, workplace and other activities of daily living. The total score is between 0-90.
from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
Sammes Weinstein Monofilament Test (SWMT)
Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
sensory threshold is used for assessment.sensed monofilament values will be collected and recorded. The highest total score will be considered as 15.
from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
Questionnaire Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH)
Time Frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
activity participation level will be assessed by Q-DASH.Each question will be scored between 1-5 points (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: medium difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not at all). The total score will be recorded.
from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
Jamar dynamometer
