Detailed description

The stduy will include subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria, will be divided into 2 groups; interventional and control. The interventional group will be recieving sensorimotor training comprising of sensory activities and motor activities. The control group will be having motor activities in the form of task oriented training. The duration of intervention would be 40 minutes in each group, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks.
