Extremity load, elastic band, and unstable surface are added as stabilization is achieved in neurodevelopmental positions. Task-oriented exercises(12). Cooling Down: Warm-up exercises are repeated. 2. General Posture and Asymmetry Training Brochure (includes adolescent, family, and team members)(13-17). The exercise starts with 3 seconds and gradually progresses to 10 seconds, 10 repetitions, and 3 sets. The TFR group also receives Conventional Treatment 2 days a week, 40 minutes per day, for 8 weeks. The same treatment protocol is applied as the control group). Routine physiotherapists apply conventional treatment.
