Result: Comparing the outcomes of the FIM and BBS pre- and post-tests, there is a positive change seen in all the
10 participants after giving a task-oriented approach as a treatment. The post-scores (P<0.05) of FIM have shown
a significant difference in all the participants. The post-scores (p>0.05) of BBS also have shown betterment in the
