Data were gathered through an online survey for non-disabled participants, focus group discussion for learners with a disability, and key informant interviews for select AdCo members and employees with disability.

Thirty-nine (39) senior-division athletes who received physical therapy after an injury completed a semi-structured, self-report questionnaire sent through their institutional emails. The questionnaire explored demographics, sports, academic, and injury background, while compliance indicators were measured using the Rehabilitation Adherence Questionnaire.

The Multidimensional Outcomes Expectation for Exercise Scale (MOEES) is used to measure this; however, it has not been cross-culturally adapted yet in the Filipino setting. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the MOEES into Filipino and establish its preliminary psychometric properties in community-dwelling Filipino older adults.\u0000Methods: This psychometric study had two phases. Phase 1 was the MOEES translation and cross-cultural adaptation following the Beaton Protocol. Phase 2 established preliminary psychometric properties based on the internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the adapted MOEES from 38 conveniently sampled community-dwelling Filipino older adults aged 60 or above. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total correlations. Intraclass correlation/ ICC (3, K) was utilized to establish test-retest reliability. \u0000Results: MOEES-F has high overall internal consistency (α = 0.925). The internal consistency for both the physical (α = 0.927) and social (α = 0.950) subscales are high, while the self-evaluative subscale is adequate (α = 0.76). Item-total correlations are acceptable for clinical measures (0.520- 0.764).

The electronic survey questionnaire includes demographic profile, knowledge towards telerehabilitation, perceived barriers and risk, and overall perception of telerehabilitation practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the responses.\u0000Results: A total of 55 respondents participated in the study. Results showed that most respondents (43; 78.2%) considered telerehabilitation a viable option to deliver rehabilitation services to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, 62% (34) reported that they have a good knowledge of telerehabilitation. The main barriers that led to their limited use of telerehabilitation systems are lack of Information & Communication Technology knowledge, its high cost, rapid changes, and patient compliance (31; 56.4%). In addition, patient data security, privacy, consultation from an unauthorized person, and difficulty establishing meaningful interactions with the patient were identified as risks associated with telerehabilitation (42; 76.4%). \u0000Conclusion and Implications: The use of telerehabilitation in the midst of the pandemic COVID-19 was well recognized and widely accepted by Filipino Physical Therapists; however, barriers and potential threats need to be minimized.

Recruitment was done through various practice sites and the PPTA. Descriptive statistics summarized responses and correlational analysis explored whether key determinants and relevant demographic characteristics were linked to PA promotion in older adult clients.\u0000Results: There were 72 respondents. Data collection was concluded early following the COVID pandemic restrictions and major changes in the PT practice landscape in the Philippines. More than half were unaware (59.15%), and most could not recall the WHO guidelines (98.61%) correctly. Respondents used a limited range of BCTs when promoting PA. While some were aware of at least one behavior change theory (66.66%), a number were unfamiliar with these (33.33%), with only a small proportion reporting regular use in practice. Eleven out of 18 domains of determinants of PA promotion as well as the age and years of practice of the respondents were found to have a statistically significant positive relationship with PA promotion. \u0000Conclusion and Implications: Study results can serve as the basis for programs that improve knowledge of Filipino PTs with regards to WHO PA guidelines and strengthen their use of a wider range of BCTs and theories to guide PA promotion in older adult clients.
