The Revised APTA Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapist and Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant: Theory, Purpose, Process, and Significance
ProQuest Article.
Interviews with employees, managers, and ethics officers revealed 8 primary metaphors for the manner in which a code of ethics may influence behavior: (1) rule book (clarifies expectation for behavior), (2) signpost (alerts one to seek clarification), (3) mirror (feedback for self-critique), (4) magnifying glass (focuses need for caution and reflection), (5) shield (protects those who challenge pressure for unethical conduct), (6) smoke detector (convinces others of unethical practices), (7) fire alarm (contacts appropriate authority), and (8) club (forces compliance).17(p255) These metaphors may provide additional insight into how individuals experience the multiple purposes, strengths, and weaknesses of codes described in the literature.

PEDro Physiotherapy Evidence Database
PEDro is the Physiotherapy Evidence Database. PEDro is a free database of over 37,000 randomised trials, systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy. For each trial, review or guideline, PEDro provides the citation details, the abstract and a link to the full text, where possible. All trials on PEDro are independently assessed for quality. These quality ratings are used to quickly guide users to trials that are more likely to be valid and to contain sufficient information to guide clinical practice. PEDro is produced by Musculoskeletal Health Sydney, School of Public Health at the University of Sydney and is hosted by Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA).
