In this study simple random sampling technique is used by sealed envelop method by using a computerized random number generator. The sequence of random allocation is done by an individual who has not directly involved in the study. Random numbers is written on index cards and placed in thick and opaque sealed envelops before the study. After taking consent from the patient for their participation in the study, the therapist opens the envelop and give the respective treatments to the patients (Conventional Physical Therapy or Task Oriented Training) . The study is single blinded as participants is not aware of the intervention group they are placed in, Blinding description: Prior to collecting data, participants would be informed about both the treatments and its benefits or risks. After taking informed consent, to avoid any kind of biasness, patient is asked to pick up one envelope. After that, the researcher doing the study knows which treatment or intervention the participant is receiving until the trial is over. The group A or B belongs to which way of treatment is known to therapist but the patient doesn't know about it. Participants are single blinded as they don't know which treatment plan or intervention is given to them. N/A only diagnosed paraplegic patients less than 6 months of spinal cord injury having limited function in unsupported sitting task oriented functional training. Intervention 1: experimental group (task oriented) 30 minutes per session, 3 days per week, for 8 weeks. Task oriented functional training including Picking objects from floor, Reaching for objects, retrieve objects from counter, maintain orientation and apply force through object, picking up the coins, moving objects from one side of table to another. Intervention 2: Control group: Progressive resistance training and functional strength training for 30 minutes per session, 3 days per week, for 8 weeks. Dosage for strengthening (progressive resistance training):one to three sets of 8-12 reps (rest 1-3mins between sets)2-3x per week. passive stretches, positioning in the lengthened position and other common hypertonic treatment techniques such as compression, heat and sustained deep pressure included.
