In physical therapy, Decker's work included which areas?

• A. Cardiac rehabilitation
• B. Geriatric care
• C. Ortho, casting and surgery
• D. Pediatric therapy

Answer: (C)

Decker’s work in physical therapy centers on the musculoskeletal side of care. Orthopedics covers the evaluation and treatment of bones, joints, and soft tissues; casting is used to immobilize a limb or area to allow healing; and surgery rehab involves restoring strength, mobility, and function after operative procedures. Put together, these areas define Decker’s professional focus. Other PT domains like cardiac rehabilitation, geriatric care, and pediatric therapy are important in their own right but represent different specialty areas, whereas Decker is identified with orthopedics, casting, and postoperative rehabilitation.
