Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Patient with a shoulder problem<br>Patients with shoulder problems between 18-65 years of age and being volunteered | Behavioral: Shoulder disability<br>* 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.<br>Device: Shoulder Range of Motion<br>* 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.<br>Behavioral: Pain Intensity<br>* 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.<br>|

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 |
