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.

3 weeks

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.

3 weeks

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.

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.

3 weeks

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.

3 weeks

Scapular Location Test

This test is performed to determine scapular elevation and rotation. Measurement points are marked by palpating the spinous process at the level of the medial end of the scapular spine, the medial end of the scapular spine, the lateral end of the scapular spine, the spinous process of the vertebra at the level of the lower end of the scapula, the lower end of the scapula, and the T12 spinous process. Using a tape measure, the distance between the spinous process of the vertebra at the same level as the medial end of the scapular spine and the spinous process at the level of the distal end of the scapula and the distance between the spinous process at the level of the distal end of the scapula and the spinous process of T12 will be measured and recorded in centimeters.

3 weeks

Cervical and Thoracic Posture Assessment

The flexicurve tool will be used during the evaluation. Results will be recorded using millimeter measurement paper.

Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnare (DASH)

The DASH scale is a patient-reported questionnaire used to assess upper extremity function. The scale consists of 30 items scored from 1 to 5. When at least 27 items are completed, the responses to all items are summed to calculate the score. An algorithm is used to adjust for missing data, and the results are expressed as a standardized total score ranging from 0 to 100. This 30-item scale assesses upper extremity function, including pain and activities of daily living.

Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

It was developed to assess the degree of shoulder pain and discomfort experienced by patients while performing daily living activities. The scale consists of a total of 13 items; 5 of these are pain-related, while 8 are disability-related. Each item is scored numerically from 0 to 10. The pain scale consists of 5 questions and is scored from 0 for "no pain" to 10 for "the most severe pain imaginable." The disability scale consists of 8 questions and is scored from 0 "no limitations" to 10 "unable to do." The total SPADI score is calculated by taking the percentage average of the pain and disability subscales. This score indicates the degree of the patient's shoulder pain and functional limitations in daily living activities.
