Increasing compliance toward home exercise in chiropractic patients using SMS texting: A pilot study

TL;DR: Digital rehabilitation was effective at improving therapeutic exercise adherence in musculoskeletal conditions at mid-termFollow-up, but not at short- and long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: SMS proved to be very useful to enhance adherence to non-pharmacological treatment of HTN (hypertension).

TL;DR: Analysis suggests that using the mobile application improved participants' ability to integrate the HEP into their daily life and was overwhelmingly preferred to traditional paper handouts.

TL;DR: Providing specific definitions for compliance and persistence is important for sound quantitative expressions of patients' drug dosing histories and their explanatory power for clinical and economic events and adoption by health outcomes researchers will provide a consistent framework and lexicon for research.

TL;DR: Patient-centered care was associated with decreased utilization of health care services and lower total annual charges, and reduced annual medical care charges may be an important outcome of medical visits that are patient-centered.

TL;DR: Spinal manipulation/mobilization is effective in adults for chronic low back pain and chronic neck pain and it is not effective for infantile colic and asthma when compared to sham manipulation, and for Stage 1 hypertension when added to an antihypertensive diet.

TL;DR: Interventions such as supervised or individualised exercise therapy and self-management techniques may enhance exercise adherence, however, high-quality, randomised trials with long-term follow up that explicitly address adherence to exercises and physical activity are needed.
