Lаtаyа (she/her), a 77-year-оld patient, was struck by a drunk driver while crоssing the street. She is nоw status post transfemoral amputation. She lives with her spouse in a single-level home with no stairs. Before the accident, she was an independent household ambulator but a limited community ambulator (distances < 300 feet at a time). Her goal is to return to her prior level of function, which included meal preparation, babysitting her grandchildren in her home, and going to church occasionally. Going to church requires her to navigate curbs, some uneven surfaces in the parking lot, and a few stairs. She already has a house cleaner, so does not need to do any cleaning around the house. 34.
