Summary
Sternal instability is defined as abnormal motion of the sternum associated with crepitus or a clicking sensation and pain during activities of daily living performance, as a result of the fracturing or failure of the sternal wires between the two halves of the sternum. When this occurs in the early post-operative period (about two weeks), it is termed dehiscence, and when it is chronic, it is termed sternal instability (Robicsek et al., 2000). Sternal separation may be partial or total, and most commonly occurs in the lower third due to a decreased blood supply (Moore ., 2006).Purpose of the studyThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect that adding graduated upper limb exercises to the usual inpatient cardiac rehabilitation programme after coronary artery bypass grafting on sternal separation, pain, and activities of daily living performance in patients suffering from sternal dehiscence.
