An exploratory content analysis of how physiotherapists perceive barriers and facilitators to participation in physical activity among adults with disability.
Conclusions: Physiotherapists who have a strong interest in the physical activity habits of adults with disabilities recognize a wide range of facilitators and barriers to their participation. Psychosocial beliefs and behaviors (i.e., self-efficacy, motivation, fear, and attitude) of adults with disability might be more important influencers of physical activity participation than impairments of body structure and function.
