Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Muscular weakness, reduced nutritional diet, peripheral vascular disease and low hemoglobin are common causes.
2. Family support along with physiotherapy will help strengthen the legs.
3. She requires a nutritional diet and active involvement in social activities.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
