Therapeutic adherence is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon. Rehabilitation treatment is an important part in the management of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and is necessary to reduce complications and functional impairment. Calculating the assistance ratio gives an accurate indicator of the degree to which patients adhere to treatment. The objective was to determine the characteristics associated with the rate of assistance to rehabilitation treatment in adolescent patients with CP. This is an observational, transversal and descriptive study. CP patients included adolescents from 10 to 18 years old who that assist to the Rehabilitation Center in the period from January to December 2014. The information was obtained from medical records. 62 patients were obtained with an average age of 13.58 ± 2.55 years; 69.4% male. The predominant type of CP was spastic bilateral (80.6%) and level V of the GMFCS (43.5%). The average attendance ratio was 0.71 ± 0.14. The population was divided into groups of patients with poor and good attendance, only to be reported statistically significant level attendance ratio with the place of residence of patients (p = 0.007) and a moderate correlation in the perception of lack of economical resources and attendance ratio (r = 0.56). Only the living outside the city where the rehabilitation center is found to be a factor in the adherence in this group of patients. The other clinical or demographic characteristics showed no association.
