We surveyed older adults, clinicians, and researchers to understand how they are currently measuring adherence to resistance and balance exercises; the barriers and facilitators they experienced to measurement; and the information they would like collected about adherence. Diaries and analog or digital calendars were the most common current methods of collecting adherence data. Users would like information about the intensity and quality of exercises completed to be presented in clear, easy-to-use formats. Older adults want meaningful information and data that can be tracked in one place. Most older adults did not measure adherence because they did not want to, meanwhile, clinicians most frequently reported not having measurement tools for adherence. Time, resources, motivation, and health were identified as barriers to recording adherence.
