The aim of this study is to develop a scale to assess the manual therapy application behaviors of physiotherapists in Türkiye, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991). A literature-based item pool will be created, and expert opinion (Delphi method) will be obtained to ensure content validity. The final scale will be administered online to physiotherapists, and construct validity and reliability analyses will be conducted. The study aims to contribute scientifically to the determination of manual therapy application behaviors in physiotherapy practices, the understanding of clinical decision-making processes, and the measurement of behavioral intention. No risks were anticipated for the participants, and data collection was voluntary.
