Abstract
Self-managed, home-based physical therapy (HBPT) is an increasingly common element
of physical therapy rehabilitation programmes but non-adherence can reach 70%. Understanding
factors that influence patients' adherence to HBPTs could help practitioners support
better adherence. Research to date has focussed largely on clinic-based physiotherapy.
The objective of this review, therefore, was to identify specific factors, which influence
adherence to home-based, self-managed physical therapies.
