Which condition did Ruby Decker help correct?

This item asks you to identify the condition Ruby Decker helped correct. Clubbed feet describe a congenital deformity in which a newborn’s foot is rotated inward and downward. Correcting it early is crucial and is typically done with serial casting to gradually realign the foot, sometimes followed by procedures or bracing. That connection is why clubbed feet is the best fit for Ruby Decker’s work in the materials, as this is a condition specifically addressed through corrective treatment in infancy. The other conditions involve different parts of the body or types of problems—scoliosis is a spinal curvature; plantar fasciitis is heel pain from the sole of the foot; a torn ACL is a knee ligament injury—so they don’t align with the context of Ruby Decker’s correction activities.
