Working individually and in coalition with other organizations, APTA has increased its efforts to support enactment of legislation to address public health issues related to physical therapy.
This includes condition-specific initiatives, such as improving stroke prevention and treatment, arthritis prevention and control; as well as population-specific initiatives, including programs to improve physical activity and nutrition, prevent injuries related to falls, and expand coverage of prevention health services.
This page will be updated with information and resources as legislation is introduced in the 112th Congress.
