What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
VAS and goniometer
Time Frame: 4 months
Visual analog scaleThe Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm line with anchor statements on the left (no pain) and on the right (extreme pain) and universal goniometer to measure the range of motion, an instrument that measures angle motion at a joint.
4 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
DASH questionaire
Time Frame: 4 months
The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100
