The next twо questiоns pertаin tо this pаtient vignette: Mrs. Lowenstein is а 78-year-old female referred to you for development of an exercise program. She had polio when she was two years of age. The polio affected her R LE. She had rehabilitation as a child but has had to use a KAFO to ambulate because of weakness. She has not had difficulty until one year ago when she noted she was getting more fatigued with ambulation and she reports that her R LE has become weaker. She has been diagnosed with Post-Polio Syndrome.
