While walking around the house, does your patient hold on to furniture or walls? Does your patient need help standing from a chair/couch? Does your patient complain of pain in the back, gluteal region? Does your patient lose balance during transfer or walking? Does your patient need help with ADL’s? Does your patient complain of shortness of breath or have difficulty with breathing? Is your patient insecure or unsafe with mobility? Does your patient feel that their legs give way or feel that they are weak? Has your patient had a recent surgery involving the muscular skeletal system, the cardio system, or BKA/AKA?
