Summary

This study tested a 12-week home exercise program for heart rehab patients with hyperkyphosis (excessive forward curve of the upper back). 62 participants were split into three groups: those doing the home exercises plus standard rehab, those doing only standard rehab, and those without hyperkyphosis doing only standard rehab. The goal was to see if the home program could reduce the curve and improve physical performance and lung function.
