Video 1 - Ball throwing and catching in sitting
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.
Video 2 - Ball throwing and catching in standing

Try to imagine a glass resting on the cushion / wobble board, you are aiming to keep your weight evenly spread so a glass wouldn’t fall over.

Video 6 - Perch STS
For this you need to find a high chair, or bed that allows you to sit “perched” on the edge. The idea is that you are in a position that is in-between sitting and standing. This makes standing up easier. Set your self a target of how many of these you want to do in a row and when you are finding it easy you might progress to STS from a normal height chair.
Video 7 - Single leg stand
Stand next to a kitchen counter. Hover your hands over the counter, and shift your weight on to your affected leg. Maintain this single leg pose for as long as possible, without use of your hands for balance.
