Study Groups

Task Specific Training

Using Task Specific Training

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Task Specific Training

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group A will be given Task Specific protocol with routine physical therapy treatment for 45 mins on the upper limb for 3 days a week for a period of 12 weeks.

This Task Specific protocol will include different exercises like, do the polishing of the table top , can perform arm cradling, can supinate and pronate the cylindrical object with arm , while pushing the cylindrical object can extend the wrist , can reach forward to touch or to pick an object , can bend side ways to pick the object and place it on the table in front , can pour the 1/2cup of water to the wide jar that is held by the patient in other hand , patient can comb his hair , patient can drink and eat independently , can lift the jar and bring it close to lips , can pick up pen by using thumb and two fingers , can do the stacking checkers , can throw a ball into the basket , can push the ball on wall from front and side.

Neurodevelopmental Training

Using Neurodevelopmental Training

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Neurodevelopmental Training

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group B will receive the Neurodevelopmental protocol with the routine physical therapy for 45 mins on the upper limb 3 times a week for period of 12 weeks. The intervention will be performed by the trained physical therapist.

This Neurodevelopmental protocol will include different exercises like , patient should sit while bearing weight , patient can do self-overhead movements with hand clasped , while holding the gymnastic ball reach forward and overhead position while sitting , weight bearing while plantigrade or quadruped position , while sitting or standing can move the ball in forward , backward and sideways.
