Plain-language summary
Adherence refers to how well a person follows a recommended and agreed-upon course of action. Adherence is necessary for desired clinical outcomes and can include attending appointments, making lifestyle changes, and following home-based regimens for themselves or someone for whom they care for. Adherence to home exercise programs can be as low as 50%, directly impacting program effectiveness. There are many reasons why an individual may struggle to adhere, which may include perceived barriers such as not having enough time, reduced self-efficacy, the belief that the program is ineffective, or seeing early positive results so they then feel they do not need to continue with the program. For children, low skill level and lack of parental support are additional barriers to program adherence. A Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) intervention is an intervention design that guides the adaptation of treatments over time. Adaptation refers to the use of dynamic information about a person (or family) to decide whether and how to intervene. SMART interventions are intended to address the unique and changing needs of individuals. The proposed study will examine the feasibility of using a 12-week (60-day) adaptive intervention design to optimize child adherence to a home exercise program. To advance equitable adherence to home exercise programs, there is a pressing need to develop strategies that support all children and families. The proposed study will provide new knowledge regarding the utility of adaptive interventions to optimize participation engagement in behavioral interventions in community contexts.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. Diagnosed with a physical or mental disability that would make it difficult to answer questions or follow directions without the help of an adult.
. Parent or caregiver has a physical or mental disability that would make it difficult for them to answer questions or assist their child with project-related activities, such as completing questionnaires in the laboratory.
. Potential participants who are ineligible will be told so on their screening call and will not be enrolled.
