Study Population

Patients admitted to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic with complaints of shoulder pain were examined by a physiatrist. Patients who were diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder by physical examination, who met the inclusion criteria, and who agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The control group consisted of hospital and university staff. The control group was also assessed by the same physiatrist and confirmed by the country's health database as having no chronic disease affecting balance.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Volunteers aged 40-65 years,
• Diagnosed with unilateral Frozen Shoulder, Frozen Shoulder stage 2-3,
• Pain lasting more than 3 months,
• No mental or cognitive impairment
• At least 25% movement limitation in at least 2 movement planes and
• Able to cooperate.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Who had a neurological, rheumatic, cardiac and active malignant diseases
• Who had a history of surgery, trauma, and fracture
• Who had comorbid conditions that would affect balance

The control group consisted of healthy subjects who were not diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder and did not have a chronic disease that would affect balance between the ages of 40-65.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Sociodemographic Form	Sociodemographic information of the patients included in the study, such as age, gender, height, weight, BMI, educational status, dominant side, comorbid status, and clinical information such as affected side, pain intensity, and pain duration were collected in a case report form by face-to-face interview	8 week
Balance Function	Balance function was measured with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The TUG is a short, simple, and reliable test used to assess balance. It shows that people who complete the test in less than 20 seconds are independent in transfers, while people who complete the test in 30 seconds or more are more dependent in activities of daily living.	8 week
Static and Dynamic Postural Balance	Biodex Balance System was used for objective assessment of static and dynamic postural balance. A high balance score indicates poor balance performance.	8 week
Pain Intensity	The pain intensity of the patients was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale. The pain intensity score ranges from 0 to 10. An increase in the score indicates an increase in pain; a decrease in the score indicates a decrease in pain.	8 week
