Chapter 6 108 between participants with missing data and the pattern of baseline characteristics. Reasons for missing data were leaving the study; three patients died, three patients stopped physiotherapy because they were diagnosed with cancer or other medical reason, six patients stopped physiotherapy for an unknown reason, and the remaining missing data concerned patients who indicated that they did not have to perform homework exercises. Table 1 summarizes the demographic and disease characteristics of the patients. Characteristics of the participating physiotherapists are summarized in Table 2. Table 3 presents the baseline TPB, exercise and fitness, and psychological variables. Table 1 and 3 also present the p-values for differences between adherent and non-adherent patients. P-values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant.
