Abstract
In this chapter, we explain the difference between the terms adherence and compliance and highlight the risks and costs associated with treatment nonadherence. We summarize the evidence for adherence-enhancing strategies tested with individuals with hand and upper limb conditions, and we provide a model that helps therapists understand why some clients struggle to stick to their plan of care. Finally, we discuss practical evidence-based approaches to enhance client adherence.
