Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Digital Goniometer Evaluation

Shoulder range of motion will be evaluated via digital goniometer. Flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation ranges will be recorded in degrees.

Time frame
3 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Craniovertebral Angle Measurement

To assess head posture, craniovertebral angle measurement will be performed. A device with the relevant software installed will be used for the measurement. The angle will be measured for both the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides. Results will be recorded in degrees.

Time frame
3 weeks
2

Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate pain for rest, activity and night periods. The data will be recorded in centimeters.On this scale, which is assessed by marking a line 10 centimetres long, the value "0" represents no pain, while the value "10" represents the most severe pain. As the score increases, the pain aggravates.

Time frame
3 weeks
3

Scapular Tilt

The distance between the acromion and the bed will be measured while the shoulders are relaxed and retracted on supine position. The results will be recorded in centimeters.

Time frame
3 weeks
4

Lateral Scapular Slide Test

This test is performed to determine the position of the scapula in the 0°, 45°, and 90° abduction positions of the shoulder. It is performed by determining the distance of the lower angle of the scapula from the corresponding thoracic spinal protuberance in the horizontal plane. All measurements will repeated 3 times and the results will be recorded in centimeters.

Time frame
3 weeks
