Treatments
Experimental: INTERVENTION GROUP (A)
INTERVENTION GROUP (A) will receive Robotic Gloves Assisted Task-Oriented Mirror Therapy along with conventional therapy.~subjects will sit on a chair and placed their both hands on the table. Patients will wear the soft robotic glove on affected hand and the data glove the unaffected hand.~Subjects will be instructed to visually observe the hand being moved by soft robotic glove~* In mirror training mode: Synchronized flexion and extension training with both hands.~* Task oriented activities: With help of robot patient will practice grasping, releasing the tennis ball, positioning the cup upright, carrying a wooded block, putting a ball
Experimental: INTERVENTIONAL GROUP (B)
INTERVENTIONAL GROUP (B) will receive Task-Oriented Mirror Therapy along with conventional therapy.~Both the extremities of the subject will be placed on the table and mirror will be placed in the patients' mid sagittal plane. Mirror will be placed in such a way that the reflection of the non-affected arm to be seen.~* Grasping and releasing (cylindrical grasp, spherical grasp, hook grasp, pincer grasp)~* Task oriented activities: positioning the cup upright, carrying a wooded block and putting a ball.
