Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Eye Hand Coordination Test	Participants throw a ball against the wall with one hand during axillary movements and try to catch it with the other hand.; Purpose: To measure hand-eye coordination; Equipment required Tennis or baseball, smooth and solid wall, marking belt, stopwtch (optional); Procedure: Place a mark at a certain distance from the wall (2 meters). The person is standing behind the line, facing the wall. The ball will be thrown towards the wall in an underarm motion from one hand and try to catch it with the other hand. Then throw the ball back to the wall and catch it with the original hand. The test can continue for a specified number of attempts or a set; period will be 30 seconds.; Scoring: This table lists the general scores of the wall throw test based on the number of successful catches in 30 seconds.	From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks
