Club Foot, also known as Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, is a birth defect that affects the development of the foot and ankle. It is a condition where the foot is twisted out of shape or position, making it difficult to walk or stand. The cause of Club Foot is not yet fully understood, but studies suggest that it may be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Club Foot can be diagnosed at birth through a physical examination. Treatment for Club Foot usually involves a series of casts and braces to gradually correct the position of the foot. In some cases, surgery may be required to fully correct the deformity. Early treatment is important to prevent long-term complications such as arthritis and chronic pain. While Club Foot is a challenging condition, with proper treatment, most children with Club Foot are able to lead normal, active lives. Physical therapy and regular check-ups with a healthcare professional are important to ensure the best possible outcome.

Architecture relies on furniture to provide comfort to occupants as well as solve practical problems. Club foot is a type of furniture design traditionally used to support a piece of furniture and make it level. This style has four curved feet that support the piece of furniture, creating an angle between the floor and the furniture to protect the feet from wear and tear. Important works that use this style of feet include the Harvard style chairs, as well as pieces by Shaker, Arts and Crafts and Mission-style furniture.
