MS3. Do you have permanent limitations walking, even when using canes, crutches, or prosthetics?

This question seeks to find out if the person has difficulties with locomotion, just as in the earlier cases it's important that you ask the entire question, that's to say that you only mark "Yes" when the person, even with canes, crutches, or prosthetics has problems walking.

This refers to the people who a wheelchair daily and permanently and those who have permanent difficulties walking even with external help (crutches, walker, Canadian canes, rods, prosthetics, etc.) This excludes any person with a temporary difficulty as a cause of fractures, the application of casts, that's in a postoperative period, or rehabilitation treatment for less than a year, etc.

Examples of question MS3.
  • Gabriela, of 80 years, can't walk because she gets tired a lot due to a cardiac sickness. This corresponds to option "1".
  • Federico has moved in a wheelchair for the last 4 months, but will only use it until he recuperates from the accident. This corresponds to option "2".
