neural mobilization which include ulnar, median and radial nerves mobilisation by a play activity called "Simon says" in addition to the routine physical therapy treatment.
treatment include muscle stretching, strengthening, gait training, Range of motion exercises for both upper and lower limbs. Group A will perform neural mobilization which include ulnar, median and radial nerves mobilisation by a play activity called "Simon says" in addition to the routine physical therapy treatment. Total 20 sessions will be performed (40 min, 3 days a week)
