Finding the effect of aquatic physical therapy in enhancing the post-operative outcomes.', 'detailedDescription': 'Measurement devices:\n\nBiodex: Biodex system is a muscle strength testing and rehabilitation instrument used in the testing and rehabilitation services for shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. Modes of operation for exercise and testing include isokinetic, passive, isometric, isotonic, and reactive eccentric. Patients are tested for their muscle performance for the required number of repetitions in the required mode. The muscle performance is measured by calculating the average peak torque (in Nm) and analyzed across the group of patients.\n\nGoniometer: A manual devise used to measure joint range of motion. Visual Analogue Scale: A scale with 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain, and 10 being severe pain.\n\nMeasurement procedure:\n\nAll the subjects posted for surgery will be tested prior to and again 6 weeks following surgery for:\n\nShoulder Pain is measured using a visual analog scale.
