Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11)Change from baseline pain score at 6th week

The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-point scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. The respondent selects a whole number (integers 0-10) that best reflects the intensity (or other quality if requested of his/her pain.0 point is the minimum and 10 point is the maximum. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.

New York Posture Rating Method to determine their posturesChange from baseline pain score at 6th week

The rating chart is used to assess 13 areas of the body, based on the assumption that posture is the alignment of the body and its segments. 13 regions (head, neck, shoulder, scapula, upper thoracic, waist, rips, abdomen, hips, knees, legs, feet and toes) are assessed in two different positions (lateral and posterior). A score is allocated to each area according to the position: 5 points to the correct position; 3 points for a slight deviation, and 1 point for a pronounced deviation. Total score is between 18-90 points. higher the points better the postural alignment

Shoulder pain and disability indexChange from baseline score of The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index at 6th week

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) was developed to measure current shoulder pain and disability in an outpatient setting. The SPADI contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and an 8-item subscale that measures disability between 0 to 100, with a higher value indicating worse condition.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Shoulder mobility on the Shoulder Range of MotionChange from baseline range of motion at 6th week

Shoulder ROM was measured in six directions (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, Right rotation, Left rotation) with goniometer.

Core muscle strength testChange from baseline strenght score at 6th week

The level of difficulty was raised from stage 1 to stage 5. high values are indicative of positive progress

Endurance of Core MusclesChange from baseline endurance score at 6th week

Each test was repeated three times, and the average of the measurements was used. The Biering-Sørensen test measures how many seconds the participant can keep the unsupported upper part of the body in a horizontal position.high values are indicative of positive progress

Manual muscle testChange from baseline manual muscle testing score at 6th week

The lowest value is zero and the highest value is 5. high values are indicative of positive progress
