Interventions
Synergy-based motor therapy
First do the 5 minutes warm up exercises(passive range of motion exercises for shoulder,elbow ,wrist and then synergy based motor therapy for 25 minutes in which the flexor synergy facilitation ( 10 rep,3 sets) and brushing and tapping for sensory cueing and then 5 minutes of cool down exercises(slow passive movements of upper limb)
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation
NMES applied to wrist extensors .Frequency: 35Hz ,Pulse Width250 ,Duty cycle :10s on /20s off ,Duration : 25 minutes
Conventional therapy
The conventional therapy group will receive standard physiotherapy for the upper limb for 30-45 minutes per session, five days per week for 6-8 weeks. It will include gentle warm-up, range of motion exercises, light strengthening, and simple functional activities like reaching, grasping, and daily task practice. Each session will end with stretching and relaxation. This treatment aims to improve movement, strength, and function without using NMES or synergy-based training.
