RECRUITINGPain intensity during shoulder elevation
It will be measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Time frame: pain intensity at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
Shoulder function
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) will be used to measure the shoulder function.
Time frame: shoulder function at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
Shoulder flexion range of motion
The Clinometer Application will be used to measure it.
Time frame: shoulder flexion at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
Shoulder abduction range of motion
The Clinometer Application will be used to measure it.
Time frame: shoulder abduction at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
shoulder posture
Sagittal Shoulder Angle will be used to measure the shoulder posture
Time frame: shoulder posture at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
Patients' enjoyment
A 7-point likert scale will be used to the evaluate the level of the patients' enjoyment at the end of the last session.
Time frame: It will be evaluated at the end of the last session (after 1 month)
patients' adherence to treatment sessions
patients' numbers of attended sessions will be calculated at the end of 1 month of treatment.
Time frame: patients' adherence at the start of session 1 to the end of 1 month of treatment
