T-REX Twente precautions

The intervention group receives the new T-REX Twente precautions, allowing for more independent activities through the use of the tube model (keeping elbows close to the sides).

BEHAVIORAL

Usual (restrictive) sternal precautions

The control group is not allowed to lift, push, or pull for the first 6 weeks. There is little to no evidence for the current strict precautions currently implemented in the department.
