About 6 years ago she got an infection in her right foot and required an amputation at the level of the ankle. She is still able to transfer independently with the use of a floor to ceiling poll; however she does spend most of her day in a wheel chair. Unfortunately in the past 3 months she has had 4 falls and is reporting that she is feeling weaker. Luckily she has not seriously hurt herself during these falls.
