Abstract
We examined the effects of a weekly review program on the compliance levels of parents with their physically impaired children's home exercise program. The experiment group (n=10) received a weekly review of their exercise program while the control group (n=8) had no review process. Over three weeks, all compliance level dropped. Based on a multivariate analysis of variance, the weekly review process did not influence the socioeconomic status (SES), weekly review, and parents' beliefs in their control of their children's health were not significantly predictive of compliance levels, however, SES was predictive of the therapists' estimates of compliance. The results suggest that therapist may have erroneously based their estimates of parent compliance on family social status.
