Amputee Ie

This initial evaluation summarizes a 66-year-old male who presented with difficulty walking using a walker due to weakness in his left leg following a left transtibial amputation. He has a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Physical examination revealed limited range of motion and muscle weakness in his bilateral lower extremities. The patient's goals are to be able to use a walker for longer periods without fatigue in order to improve his mobility and independence.
