traditional exercises

strengthening exercise for the shoulder muscles( shoulder extensors, shoulder retractors from prone position and shoulder external rotation exercise for 3 sets 10 repetition , weight bearing exercise on the hand from quadruped position and sitting position and strengthening exercise on the intrinsic muscles of the hand

OTHER

sensory electrical stimulation

The stimulated muscles included the flexor carpi radialis (FCR), extensor carpi radialis (ECR), and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU). Rectangular surface electrodes (Ag/AgCl; 50mm \_ 50mm size) were attached on the motor point of each muscle, i.e., at four fingerbreadths from biceps tendon of FCR, at two fingerbreadths distal from lateral epicondyle for the ECR, at two fingerbreadths volar to ulna at the junction of the upper and middle thirds of the forearm for FCU.14 Portable stimulators will use with the following stimulation settings: constant current (0.2 mA step), 100 Hz stimulation frequency, biphasic pulse, and 300 \_s pulsewidth.
