Individuals with disabilities are at an even greater risk for a lack of physical activity and engaging in health promoting behaviors. Home exercise programs (HEP) have been effective in improving patient outcomes and preventing further disability. The purpose of this doctoral capstone experience (DCE) was to develop an incentive-driven home exercise program in order to facilitate self-management skills among youth and older adults at an outpatient clinic and determine if the program would increase adherence to a HEP. A HEP workbook was created, and an incentive program was tied to the workbook. Therapists distributed the workbooks to clients and supplemented it with materials fit for the individual. Program effectiveness was measured by five therapists through completion of a pre-/post-HEP adherence tracking log. Average HEP adherence pre-program implementation across four weeks was approximately 49.25% while average adherence post-program implementation was 64.96%. Overall HEP adherence at the clinic increased by approximately 15% after one month of program implementation. Therapists reported clients enjoyed the competition and a possibility to win a prize, more clients were bringing in their HEP workbooks, and the clinic benefited from this program. Further investigation is needed to determine whether an incentive-driven HEP program can be effective long-term in improving self-management skill development and increasing client adherence to home programs.
