Brief Summary

A broad definition of visual impairment includes a wide continuum of visual function loss. Aspects of visual function include visual acuity, which is the capacity to resolve detail, and accommodation (capacity to concentrate), field of vision (the area that may be seen), colour perception, and light sensitivity. A child with cerebral blindness can nevertheless be able to perceive motion. There are numerous sources of prevalence information, each of which has drawbacks. One of the fundamental pillars of the major worldwide prevention of blindness project, VISION 2020 the Right to Sight, is the reduction of visual impairment and blindness in children in resource-poor nations. Refraction and poor vision services aid visually impaired children, especially those with genetic or congenital ocular defects and enable vision improvement.

Conditions

Visual Impairment

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Grip strength

  grip strength will be meaured by dynamometer

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• nine-hole peg test

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Conventional treatment of isometric hand grip training exercises

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In control group, conventional treatment perform by using isometric hand grip training exercises (putty grip and squeeze exercise, thumb pinch z strengthening exercises, isometric Hooks exercises, rubber band abduction and c thumb exercises) for 3times a week in one month.

Other: Conventional treatment of isometric hand grip training exercises

Conventional treatment along with power ball training

EXPERIMENTAL

In experimental group, 3sessions per week and total 12 training sessions in a month will be perform. In this session, conventional treatment perform with power ball exercise should be done for 3 minutes in a day, where power ball can initially alleviate the pain, then make them feel strong and in the end persons feel strengthen with pain free movements. Before start training with a power ball, hand held dynamometer will use prior to the first session, on 7th session of training and after 12th training session. So that changes in hand grip strength can be measured by dynamometer.

Other: Conventional treatment along with power ball training
