Postural Management of Hyperkyphosis in Cardiac Rehab Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a home-based exercise program in managing hyperkyphosis, and its impact on physical performance and pulmonary function among cardiac rehabilitation patients. The primary research question is: Can a home-based kyphosis-specific exercise program reduce thoracic hyperkyphosis and improve physical ability in cardiac patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation? The study will consist of three groups: 1) Hyperkyphotic participants undergoing a 12-week exercise program at home, alongside a cardiac rehabilitation exercise program, 2) Hyperkyphotic participants solely undergoing cardiac rehabilitation exercise program, and 3) Participants without hyperkyphosis solely undergoing cardiac rehabilitation exercise program. The groups will be evaluated based on measurements of kyphosis index, physical performance and spirometry at the beginning, after 6 weeks, and upon completion of the 12-week program.
