This document discusses ethics in physiotherapy. It outlines seven principles of ethics: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership. It also discusses moving from an "ethics of trust" to an "ethics of rights" approach. Some ethical issues in physiotherapy are discussed like using uncalibrated equipment or treating certain patients. The four main principles of ethics - nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and respect for autonomy - are also outlined. The document concludes with guidelines for ethical behavior and sources for further information on physiotherapy ethics.
