The data gathered were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean (WM), and class interval. \u0000Results: Findings showed that the perceived top facilitators include less travel time and cost (WM = 3.606) and less exposure to external risk (WM = 3.545). In comparison, the top barriers were technical difficulties (WM = 3.273) and internet connectivity (WM = 3.242). The majority of the respondents were highly satisfied (WM = 3.338) and compliant (WM = 2.798) with telerehabilitation.\u0000Conclusion and Implications: With the results of this study, it was revealed that telerehabilitation is a viable alternative to conventional rehabilitation, as seen with the respondents' generally positive perception towards this mode of service that ultimately enhances both access and continuity of care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132495638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association between the fascia slides, age, sex, occupation, clinical diagnosis, and symptoms’ chronicity were determined.\u0000Methods: This retrospective study constituted a reliability and case-control study. Three hundred participants (174 MPS: 126 non-MPS) were included. For each fascia level, six physiotherapy interns read 19 MSUS videos. Bland Altman Plot and Single Measures Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) determined the physiotherapy interns' intratester and intertester reliability. Twelve physiotherapy interns quantified the fascia slides in 3,600 MSUS videos. MPS and non-MPS groups were compared against differences in fascia slides using independent samples t-test. A p-value of <0.05 indicated significant differences in fascia slides. Multiple regression analyses determined fascia slides and independent variables’ relationship.\u0000Results: Intertester reliability in tracking the superficial and deep fasciae was very good (ICC = 0.90 to 1.00). Intratester reliability showed minimal to no individual bias (95% CI). A significant difference in superficial fascia displacement between groups was only observed during active cervical extension (p< 0.05). No difference in cervical AROM was reported in deep fascia displacement between groups (p> 0.05). No associations were found between superficial fascia slides and independent variables (p >0.05). Sex was the only variable associated with deep fascia slide difference (p <0.05).\u0000Conclusion and Implications: Limited fascia slide is not a characteristic of individuals with MPS. There is no association between differences in fascia slides and independent variables.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122667827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of the study were to (1) describe the current PAL and health- and skill-related PFL of 1st year college students, (2) determine the correlation between PAL and PFL, and (3) compare current and pre-pandemic perceived PALs. \u0000Methods: A descriptive research design was used. A retrospective data from students enrolled in Physical Education (PE) 1 was reviewed. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure PAL; health-related and skill-related PFL were measured using traditional PE-based standardized tests and 10-cm visual analog scale for perceived current and pre-pandemic PAL. Spearman rho was used to determine the correlation between PAL and PFL and paired t test to compare change in PAL. \u0000Results: The students had moderate PAL. All health-related and skill-related PFL was good except for flexibility and agility which was poor. Spearman rho correlations revealed a statistically significant correlation between PAL and muscle endurance (r = .397; n = 55; p = .004). Paired t test showed a statistically significant reduction in current compared with the pre-pandemic PAL t (54) = 2.34, p = 0.023. \u0000Conclusion and Implications: Freshmen students have acceptable PAL and PFL except for flexibility and agility while poor muscle endurance correlated with lower PAL. A reduction in their PAL was noted during the pandemic. This indicates the need for programs to improve students’ flexibility, agility, and muscle endurance to be incorporated in their PE classes and daily activities to improve their PAL and PFL.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127746879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operations of health programs, industries, and economic sectors, as well as academic training institutions, are still challenged in terms of operations and delivery of services. The academic community of the Physical Therapy program is not spared by this circumstance. The restriction posted by the quarantine policies nearly terminated the onsite delivery of training programs for the senior internship level, which challenged the academic institutions to implement flexible learning programs to ensure the continuity of the instructional and learning processes with full consideration of safety and compliance to health protocols. This paper presents the big picture of how a tertiary-level health sciences institution in the Philippines embraced the senior clinical internship challenges through the operations of its telerehabilitation program.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128397488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pre-final version of the Filipino Lower Extremity Functional Scale (FIL-LEFS) underwent online pilot testing (n = 11) among Filipinos across the Philippines who have musculoskeletal conditions. This was to ensure that the scale and item questions were clear and comprehensible. Subsequently, the experts' committee determined the psychometric properties of face validity using FVI and content validity using CVI and COSMIN criteria and rating system. \u0000Results: The FIL-LEFS used Filipino terms that are understandable to Filipinos of all ages with lower extremity conditions. The Face Validity Index scores showed that all items were acceptable (> 0.80). In addition, the content validity was rated excellent (S-CVI Ave > 0.90), with all items indicating relevance and acceptability. The COSMIN content validation further showed that the study was of moderate quality in terms of sufficient content validity as rated by five experts and inconsistent content validity as rated by four experts. \u0000Conclusion and Implications: The translation and cultural adaptation of LEFS was successful. The pilot testing results showed that the FIL-LEFS is a valid tool in measuring difficulty in functional activities involving the lower extremity. However, there is still a need to establish its full psychometric properties.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124097887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen physical therapy leaders and practitioners in the Philippines were invited to share their insights via email. Leaders were invited for their macro perspectives and influence on the profession; practitioners from various practice areas were invited to provide more practical viewpoints. Participants were interviewed one-to-one via an online conferencing platform. Interviews were transcribed, translated to English, and subjected to thematic analysis. \u0000Results: Six themes were generated. Participants viewed Filipino physical therapists' social responsibility as a professional duty to be fulfilled with altruistic and social justice motivations. It should be particularly targeted towards responding to pressing health and social issues affecting Filipinos' access to physical therapy and experience of health.\u0000Conclusion and Implications: Filipino physical therapists' social responsibility entails engaging in roles aside from clinical practice to contribute to Filipinos' attainment of health. This calls for the expansion of their ethical and practice frameworks to include addressing not only client issues but also the wider societal barriers to equal access to physical therapy and better experiences of health. This also calls for the scaling-up of the transformative purposes of physical therapy education to prepare future physical therapists for their social responsibilities.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"54 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132664925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
