Improving Patient Adherence and Outcomes for Aging Adults
Presented by J.J. Mowder-Tinney
Recommendations in the APTA Choosing Wisely campaign have noted the importance of not under-dosing strength training in aging adults. This new educational initiative is stressing the importance of matching the intensity and duration of exercise to an individual’s goal and ability.

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Patient Adherence
Providing home exercise programs for patients is common practice for therapists. However, compliance and follow through with the programs are commonly not performed. This chapter will review specific strategies that can improve adherence and carryover of home programs.
2. Interviewing to Identify Challenges
This chapter reviews and practices some specific techniques that have been shown to improve adherence. A review of the components of motivational interviewing will be performed with strategies that can be used in clinic tomorrow.
3. Ideas for Designing HEP
This chapter will review a variety of ideas that emphasize the specific impairments of the patient while designing a home program that is fun and safe. The overall goal is to find ways to increase patients’ participation in everyday activities and prevent additional impairments.
4. Home Exercise Program Support
This chapter will review how the latest technology can be used to motivate and remind your patients about their exercise programs. By building home exercise programs that can be performed with a patient app that tracks adherence, therapists will allow optimal carry over.
