What is one benefit of tailored exercise programs based on HDS results?

Tailored exercise programs based on Hester Davis Scale (HDS) results are designed to address the specific needs and risk factors of individual patients. This personalized approach enhances patient compliance because exercises that are adapted to a person's abilities and limitations are more likely to be both motivating and achievable. When patients feel that the program is relevant and they can successfully complete the exercises, they are more likely to stick to the regimen over time. Moreover, these programs can improve safety by focusing on strengthening the muscles, enhancing balance, and improving flexibility in ways that directly reduce fall risk for that particular patient. This close alignment with the patient's condition helps ensure that exercises do not inadvertently exacerbate existing issues, thus fostering a safer environment for engaging in physical activity.

In contrast, other options do not accurately reflect the benefits of tailored exercise programs. While time efficiency and cost may vary by program, they are not guaranteed advantages of a tailored approach. Tailoring does not eliminate the need for other safety measures; rather, it complements them by incorporating specific exercises that address individualized risk profiles.
