Short-Form 36 used as measurement. Eighteen (mean age: 36.9 years) included. Hip limitations, knee hip predicted physical functioning scale (P < 0.001; adjusted R 2 = 0.553). Shoulder age role limitation due emotional problems 0.373). Elbow severity mental health 0.320). social 0.041; 0.091). Educational level elbow vitality 0.416). hip, knee, shoulder could be predictors for Improving an appropriate treatment strategy enhance patients.
