Functional Assessment:
- Walks independently indoors; uses a railing on stairs.
- Transfers independently; manages basic ADLs. Errands require rest breaks.
- No assistive device. Communication and cognition appear intact.
- Reports mild leg fatigue, no pain at rest.

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.

Plan:
- Begin graded walking and lower limb strengthening with monitoring for symptoms.

- Reviewed pacing and safe progression.
- Reassess functional tolerance at follow-up.
