Abstract
This paper surveys selected historical foundations of the present American Physical Therapy Association's CODE OF ETHICS, showing the extent to which the present code draws upon oaths, ideas in ethics textbooks, and other sources. The article presents a basis for understanding the significance of these historical influences and provides one means by which physical therapists can more fully appreciate the relevance of the code today.Keywords
