First, We need to secure your hand to the cane. To secure your hand using a T-shirt, put your affected arm through the shirt going to the neck hole. Then gather the remaining fabric and secure your hand on the cane by wrapping it around.

Now that we have secured our hand to the cane we can do the exercises.
First exercise is scapular protraction and retraction. All you need to do is to keep your affected arms straight and then pull that arm back trying to move your shoulder blade towards your spine. You can guide your shoulder blade with your good hand by pushing it backwards coming under your armpit.

Second exercise is gear shifting.First side to side 10 times, then side to side 10x and then lastly in circles 10 times.

Third exercise is biceps curls. In this exercise, you will just bend your elbows with hands towards your shoulders, then back to your lap 10x.
