Diabetes affects approximately 24 million people in the United States, and the incidence is rising at an alarming rate. Importantly, the onset of type 2 diabetes is fostered by drecreased physical activity... PTJ’s November issue “shows that physical therapy interventions can have a dramatic and postive effect in fighting the local and systemic complications associated with diabetes,” writes Guest Editor Michael Mueller, PT, PhD, FAPTA. “As the movement experts, physical therapists are ideally suited to help this population safely and effectively address their movement dysfunctions.”
PTJ introduces Collections, a topic-specific archive of articles published since January 1999. Eventually, the Collections also will contain articles from January 1980 through December 1998.
The categories reflect specific areas of physical therapist practice, common conditions or diagnoses, and the terminology found in APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice.

Go green by opting out of print! APTA has made it easier than ever to help the environment and cut down on clutter. You can “opt out” of receiving Physical Therapy (PTJ) and PT Magazine in print each month simply by logging on to apta.org. You’ll still have access to your publications online and can reference current and archived issues 24/7/365—without digging through boxes in your basement.
Why go green? Besides being conscious of our environmental resources and making more room for yourself, you’ll find PTJ Online full of features not possible in print.
To go green, go apta.org, select “myAPTA” from the horizontal navigation menu (you’ll be asked to login, if you haven’t already done so), then proceed to “My Profile.” Click on the “Email & Publications” tab, choose your “opt out” preferences and save.
