  1. NPRS Numeric Pain Rating Scale, PSFS patient specific functional scale
  2. *statistically significant difference (P-value ≤0.05). Mean difference was calculated as follow-up – baseline. Positive sign indicates increase in pain, scapular upward rotation, and scapular anterior tilt and increase in functional ability
