Implementation of motivational interviewing in a fall prevention exercise program: experiences from a randomized controlled trial.

Data from a recently performed three-armed randomized controlled trial were used to describe the implementation of motivational interviewing in the exercise group (n = 58). Level of motivation (priorities) and self-efficacy for both the physiotherapist and the participant in treatment, and to use a guide targeted towards the planned treatment are recommended actions. Regular meetings and follow ups as well as updates of motivational interviewing skills during a treatment period, should also be considered to achieve treatment fidelity. Trial registration NCT01778972, Retrospectively registered January 29, 2013.
