"1. The participant will sit upright and wrap an elastic resistance band around each hand, leaving the palms open. They will perform thumb and finger abduction and extension, wrist extension, and forearm supination. This will be followed by scapular retraction with shoulder external rotation, elbow extension, shoulder abduction, and extension, holding this position for 10 seconds.~2. In both sitting and standing positions, the participant will sit at the edge of a seat, naturally lifting the sternum, with legs spread at a 45-degree angle and feet slightly turned out. Shoulders should be relaxed, chin tucked, and elbows fully extended. The participant will keep their shoulders down, imagining the scapulae pressing together and downward into a V shape, with thumbs turned out, palms up, and fingers spread. This position is held for 10 seconds."

"1. In a supine position, the participant will place a towel around their neck. With their head on the floor, they will tuck their chin and use the towel to apply gentle resistance, holding for 10 seconds to strengthen the deep flexor muscles of the cervical spine.~2. In a prone position, the participant will point their thumbs toward the ceiling and extend their arms fully while leaning forward, then return to the starting position. They will then extend their arms horizontally and hold for 10 seconds.~3. The participant will place both hands on the back of their head, lift their elbows upward, pull them back, and simultaneously spread their arms out to the side. This position will be held for 10 seconds before returning to the starting position."
