Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rigid transparent plastic protractor [2nd week and 4th week]
changes from baseline measurement of the distance between the posterior border of the acromion and the wall or a table
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Neck diability Index [4th week]
Changes from baseline The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points. he NDI consists of 10 domains-pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleep, and recreation-designed to assess the level of disability in patients with neck pain.
- Goniometer [2nd week and 4th week]
Changes from baseline Measurements of cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation, Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation were found to be reliable with universal goniometer
- The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [4th week]
Change from baseline SPADI is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The SPADI includes two domains: a five-item pain subscale and an eight-item disability subscale. he maximum score is 130
- Honor Band 5 Smart Wristband Fitness Tracker [2nd week and 4th week]
Changes from baseline With optimized optical hardware and software algorithms, HONOR Band 5 precisely measure, HR , SpO2 both immediately after exercise and monitors sleep throughout the intervention.
