| A1 pulley stretching | Other | Participants comfortably seated with the arm supported on a table. The right palm placed on the couch, and the middle fingers positioned alternately on a wooden block at a 45° angle. Participants flex the middle finger while the therapist provides resistance to induce an isometric contraction. Duration and Repetitions:

| Numeric Pain Rating Scale | Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is used to determine the level of pain in a patient. It gives people an opportunity to self-report their pain levels using a scale of zero to ten, with 0 being the absence of pain and 10 being the worst that can happen. The scale is divided into categories, 1-3 mild pain, 4-6 moderate pain, and 7- 10 severe pain. | From enrollment to end of treatment 6 weeks |
| Universal Goniometer | goniometer is a device that is widely utilized in orthopedics and physical therapy to estimate the range of motion of a joint (ROM) and to diagnose range restrictions. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks. |
| Hand dynamometer | A hand dynamometer is a tool that is used to measure the grip strength and give a quantitative measure of the muscle activity in the hand and forearm. Through pressing of the handle of the device, the user can measure the force used, and the clinicians can observe the progress and see the changes in the rehabilitation | From enrollment to the end of treatment for 6 weeks. |
