Compliance: A barrier to occupational rehabilitation?
While patients' compliance with medical, psychological, and other treatments has received considerable attention the subject has received relatively little attention in the rehabilitation literature. This paper attempts to review the study of patients' compliance in the rehabilitation literature and to examine its role especially in relation to outcomes. The assessment of compliance, some of the factors affecting compliance in rehabilitation, as well as future research issues are also addressed.
