Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	whole-body vibration training	The subjects were exposed to alternating vertical sinusoidal vibration using a Galileo tilting table system.The frequency of WBV ranged from 5 to 20 Hz, and the amplitude ranged from 1 to 6 mm.The subjects were kneeled on the ground, both shoulders flexed at 90 degrees, elbows slightly flexed, their trunk bent in this position and contacted on the platform board with their palms equidistant from the midpoint of the board
OTHER	conventional upper limb training	compensatory techniques for activities of daily living, UE strength, therapist-guided techniques for facilitating normal UE movement patterns,and range of motion and traditional positioning
