This exercise is push ups on a table and its aim is to strengthen the upper body muscles.

Standing about 1 metre away from a table, place both hands onto the wall roughly shoulder width apart, and with your elbows locked out straight. Keeping your ankles, hips and shoulders in a straight line, slowly lower yourself so your chest moves towards the table. When you have your elbows bent to roughly 90 degrees, push up back to the start position with your elbows straight.

Follow the advice in your rehab programme for the suggested number of reps an sets you need to perform.

To make this exercise easier you could try performing push ups against a wall, or to make it more challenging you could try a push up on the floor. We have videos of both these exercises within our playlist.
