Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Nordic Musculoskeletal Survey	14 weeks	It consists of 11 questions asked as a reference from 9 body regions shown on a visual body diagram of neck, shoulder, back, elbow, hand, wrist, waist, hip, thigh, knee, foot, ankle, and corresponds to 99 data items. The questionnaire primarily questions the presence of pain in 9 body regions. If the person's answer is yes, he moves on to the relevant sub-questions.It is a selection scale rather than a rating.
Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire	14 weeks	It is a questionnaire developed by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) based on the World Health Organization (WHO) model and used to evaluate upper extremity function status. The survey consists of three parts, and for all questions in the scale, the person marks the answer that suits him or her on a 5-point Likert system (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not able to do it at all). According to the results of the Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire survey; A result between 0-100 is obtained from each section (0: no problem, 100: maximum problem).
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index	14 weeks	The scale is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disturbance over the past month. It consists of 24 questions, 19 questions are self-report questions, 5 questions are questions to be answered by the spouse or roommate. The 18 scored questions of the scale consist of 7 components. Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disturbance, Sleeping Medication Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component is evaluated on a scale of 0-3 points. The total score of the 7 components gives the scale total score. Total score varies between 0-21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality".
