Devora University of Santo Tomas, College of Rehabilitation Sciences, Manila, Philippines Background: Increased incidence of falls among older adults may be due to decreasing physical activity. How- ever, there is currently no assessment tool available in the Philippines that will assess specifically the physical activity of older Filipino adults. Purpose: This study aims to (1) translate the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) in Filipino (PASE-F); (2) establish content, face validity and equivalency of PASE- F version; and (3) establish the correlation between physical activity and history of falls among older adults. Methods: Phase 1 (psychometric study): Translation of the original PASE into Filipino was done following standard- ized translation procedures. Three (3) health professionals practicing in geriatric care were recruited to evaluated the content and face validity of PASE. Qualitative analysis and appropriate revisions were done based from the responses. Equivalency of PASE-F and the original PASE was analyzed using two-sample t test with equal variances, and Spearman Rho. Phase 2 (correlational study): 310 (males: 117; females: 193) community-dwelling older adults from Manila District 1 with a mean age of 68 ± 6.5 participated. The level of physical activity using PASE-F was correlated with their history of falls using odd’s ratio and simple logistic regression. Results: The panel of experts recommended addition and/or replacement of activities that are common in the Fil- ipino setting and that have common METS equivalence. There was no difficulty in terms of reading, instructions, assumptions, knowledge, clarity, bias, and response cate- gories. The validated PASE-F and the original PASE were found to be equivalent with a p-value of .8391 and Spear- man’s Rho of >.05 which signified that no difference exist between the two versions. However, no significant correlation was found (p value > .05, 95% CI. 1, 1.005) between total PASE-F scores and fall history. The per item analysis of the questionnaire revealed that frequency of home repairs. engagement to out- door gardening, and hours of volunteer work are risk factors for falls incidence. Conclusion(s): PASE-F was found to be a valid and equivalent translation of the English original version in mea- suring the physical activity of Filipino older adults. However, obtained PASE-F scores do not show correlation between his- tory of falls and physical activity. Further studies could focus on construct validation of PASE-F to directly measure the physical activities of the older adults though accelerometer, pedometer instead of just using surveys and questionnaires. In addition, prospective incidence study that would deter- mine if PASE-F scores can actually predict who among the participants will experience fall in the future could be done. Implications: The translation of PASE to Filipino may provide a more culturally adapted and sensitive question- naire to determine the physical activity level of older Filipino adults compared to administering PASE in its original English version.

Lippolis 3 1 Handicap International, Technical Resource Department, London, United Kingdom; 2 Handicap International, Technical Resource Department, Lyon, France; 3 Handicap International, Technical Resource Department, Brussels, Belgium Background: Sustainability is identified by nearly all organisations working in global health as one of the key indicators for project evaluation. Though typically recog- nised as an essential component for good project management to ensure positive impact, it is rarely applied effectively in practical terms and there are very few practical methods or tools to support implementation and monitoring of sustain- able interventions. Further, despite efforts of stakeholders at all levels, the rehabilitation sector is not usually at the top of
