Video 1 - Backwards walking

Position yourself standing up. Practice walking backwards, aim to maintain your direction in a straight line.

Video 2 - Ball throwing and catching in standing

In a seated position, throw a ball up in the air in front of you and catch it. Ensure you are catching two handed or with your affected arm. Try to control the pace and direction of the throw to keep it close enough to catch. Tip: To make the exercise harder try using a smaller ball or catching one handed.
