Abstract
It is widely assumed that the success of rehabilitation programs is contingent on following or adhering to prescribed regimens. Adherence to sport injury rehabilitation programs may encompass a range of behaviours that vary across different injuries and rehabilitation protocols. It appears, however, that adherence to such programs is commonly less than 100%. The purpose of this review, therefore, is to critically evaluate the adherence literature related to sport injury rehabilitation. Specifically, the predictors of sport injury rehabilitation adherence are discussed, theoretical explanations of the adherence-outcome relationship are outlined and evaluated, strategies to enhance rehabilitation adherence are reported, and considerations for future research are suggested.
