Hands up and down movement behind and by the
sides of body (with theraband)
The patient is positioned in sitting or standing with
both arms in a stretched position. Each hand holds
one end of a theraband or a spring (resistance should
be set at 10 repetitive maximum, RM, i.e. the
resistance that one can perform 10 repetitions but
no more). Then stretch the theraband and maintain
the elbows straight (Figure 8). Slowly put the hands
behind and pass by the sides of body and then down
below buttock. After 3 seconds rest, the hands slowly
go up and along the same track to the starting
position. Repeat 10 times as 1 lot. Take rest and
then repeat another 2 lots performing a total 30
repetitions and 4 sessions per day.
Purpose: The exercise aims at general strengthening
of the chest wall. Moreover, the high intensity but
low frequency impacting force may be advantageous
to stimulate remodeling and shaping of the chest
wall deformity. Bone mineralization may also be
enhanced.
Push up
The patient is positioned in prone lying and both
hands are used to push up his body (Figure 7). The
level of difficulty depends on the actual ability of the
patients (1st level – upper trunk pushed up, 2nd level
– whole body pushed up in one piece, 3rd level –
push and clap both hands in mid air). Start with the
1st level and when the patient is able to finish the
level easily, he may proceed to next level). Repeat
10 times as 1 lot. Take rest and then repeat another
2 lots performing a total of 30 repetitions and
4 sessions per day.
