Physical Examination / Observations:
- Gait steady at usual pace; balance adequate during observed turns.
- Lower limb range of motion functional; strength mildly reduced with repeated sit-to-stand.
- Sensation grossly intact to light touch.

Assessment:
Reduced activity tolerance with mild lower limb deconditioning, possibly contributing to difficulty with longer community walks.
