Current statistics state that noncompliance with a home exercise program is as high as 50%, though there were cases we can argue this number is higher. Patients spend less than1% of their week in PT sessions. These are all odds that work against outcomes, affect
reimbursement, and overall patient satisfaction. This course will provide learners with information on why non-compliance may exist and how a clinician can assist with improving patient compliance. Learners will engage in discussion about the stages of behavior
change, what this looks like in a clinical setting, and how to facilitate a patient through the varied stages.
