Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Hand Grip Strength. Timepoint: 1,3,6 week. Method of measurement: Dynamometers are the cheap, portable and best used device for the measurement of grip strength by using static effort of muscles, having excellent inter rater and intra rater reliability for all the performed movements with ICC = 0.855.;Hand Grasp. Timepoint: 1,3,6 week. Method of measurement: Action research arm test is reliable tool with the inter-rater reliability of 0.99. The range of ARAT score vary from 0 (no movement) to 57 (maximum movement).
