Ask your competent? doctor to get you 100% recovered to be able to do this. Impossible for me, left hand will not open, I can't jump at all and can't get my left arm past my shoulder while standing.
The power of wall balls
Throwing a heavy ball at a wall provides a full-body workout in a single move.

Bouncing a ball against a wall is one of the simplest pleasures of childhood. For adults, it's one of the best ways to increase strength, power, and endurance.
For wall ball exercises (commonly called "wall balls"), you squat with a large ball in your hands, then rise explosively, throwing the ball high against a wall. You complete the move by catching the ball and dropping back into a squat, ready for the next repetition.
Wall balls use lower-body strength and power while engaging multiple muscle groups at once: the chest, midsection, buttocks, legs, and shoulders. The steady up-and-down movement also boosts the heart rate.
"Not only are wall balls an effective full-body movement, but they also can improve your ability to perform daily tasks like lifting, reaching, and getting up and down from a seated position," says Kaitlyn Buckwell, a strength and conditioning specialist with the Center for Sports Performance and Research at Harvard-affiliated Mass General Brigham. "The constant throwing-and-catching motion can also improve coordination and balance."
Choosing the right wall ball
A wall ball is 14 inches in diameter (think of a large-sized pizza) with a soft synthetic leather or vinyl shell and a textured surface that makes it easier to throw and catch. You can purchase the balls online. They're also available at most gyms or stores that sell sporting goods.
