What kind of physical therapy work did Decker do?

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

Answer: (A)

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on the musculoskeletal system and commonly involves care after injuries or surgery. Casting is a classic tool for immobilizing fractures or supporting healing after procedures, and post-operative rehab aims to restore strength, range of motion, and function after joint surgeries or fracture repairs. This combination—casting and surgery-related rehabilitation—fits orthopedic PT best. Cardiac rehabilitation centers on heart and circulatory fitness, pediatric therapy on children’s development, and geriatric therapy on aging-related issues, so they don’t align with the described work.
