^*Internal rotation was defined with a six score scale as the back of hand reached to inter scapular, thoracolumbar junction, mid lumbar, lumbosacral junction, buttock and lateral of thigh respectively.

(DASH=Disadility of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, VAS=Visual Analoge Scale, ROM=Range of Motion, PCS=Physical Component Summery, MCS=Mental Component Summery, SF-36= Short Form 36 Questionnaire)
