Honor wristbands will be distributed and Exercises will be demonstrated to each group. Explanation of using Honor band will be given. Measurements will be taken before the intervention including cervical ROM. shoulder ROM at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. while heart rate, SpO2 immediately after the session.
