Objectives: This study aims to develop a Filipino translation of the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) version 4, and determine its internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
Methods: This was a cross sectional mixed methods study comprised of two parts. The first part consisted of Filipino translation of the UW-QOL version 4 questionnaire. The second part validated the internal consistency and test-retest reliability through statistical analysis.
Results: The Cronbach's coefficient was high (0.88) which denotes good internal consistency. Pearson's correlation coefficient was obtained to determine the test-retest reliability of the translated questionnaire. A p value of <0.05 indicates that the questionnaire has good test-retest reliability. The p value was high in most of the items of the questionnaire.
Conclusion: The internal consistency of the translated questionnaire is high and comparable to other translations of the same questionnaire. The test-retest reliability is low owing to the interventions done between the test and retest.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila.
Background And Objective: The Gross Motor Function Classification System - Expanded and Revised (GMFCS-E&R) is a valid tool commonly used by physicians, therapists, and potentially also by other healthcare workers even at the primary care and grassroots levels to facilitate immediate screening, appropriate referral, and management of children with disability needing mobility devices. As Filipinos comprise one of the largest diaspora populations, this study aimed to provide a Filipino version of the GMFCS-E&R and determine its internal consistency and inter- and intra-rater reliability.
Methods: A multidisciplinary group of rehabilitation professionals at Philippine General Hospital worked with linguists to translate the original English GMFCS-E&R to Filipino/Tagalog, the Philippines' official language.
