You read in the PT's initial evaluation that your patient has a fractured right femur that has healed. He is left with 2/5 strength (normal strength is 5/5) in the quadriceps and is unable to transfer independently in and out of bed or a chair. What is the medical diagnosis (pathology)? What is the impairment of the musculoskeletal system? What is the functional limitation?

Consider a patient who has genu varus (bowlegged deformity). Draw a free body diagram to help explain the situation when the patient bears weight solely on his right leg. Derive an expression for the knee compressive force (R) as a function of W, d1, and d2, and rationalize how R may change as the knee deformity worsens (i.e., as d2 increases).
