Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is the least complied with aspect of cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment and 90% to 95% of CF patients die as a result of chronic pulmonary disease. Behavioral contracting was introduced to increase the compliance of an 11-year-old CF girl to her CPT treatment. Positive changes were reported in her compliance, physiological measures, and family functioning during contracting and follow-up.
