Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Actual Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Baseline, after 30 minutes of the intervention and 72 hours after intervencion
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Participants will be asked to rate the intensity of pain experienced at the time of measurement
Pain Intensity during the arm elevation
Time Frame: Baseline, 30 minutes after intervention and 72 hours after intervention
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Participants will be asked to rate the intensity of pain experienced during arm elevation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Static Scapular Position(Baseline, 30 minutes after intervention and 72 hours after intervention)
- Range of Motion(Baseline, 30 minutes after intervention and 72 hours after intervention)
- Functional Capacity(Baseline, 30 minutes after intervention and 72 hours after intervention)
