Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Range of motion measurement for external rotation and abduction using clinometer application at week 12	week 12 from baseline measurement	The smart phone clinometer is a validated tool to measure range of motion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Quick DASH(Quick Disabilities of the of Arm Shoulder and Hand)	week 12 from baseline measurement	Quick DASH is an 11 item questionnaire to measure physical function and symptoms in people presenting with one or more disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand. The higher the score from 0 to 100 scale the higher the disability.
