There are a lot of heart and lung and other ailments that don't make
flexibility difficult but that do make walking too far dangerous. Loss
of flexibility, loss of limbs, loss of use of limbs and painful legs
and knees aren't the only problems covered by disability tags.


The breathing difficulties disappear as they browse, however.

You lost me there. I know too many people who have COPD, bad hearts,
and a couple with emphysema to think the difficulties disappear. In the
case of COPD, the difficulty breathing MAY come and go, but that is not
at the behest of the person suffering from the problem.


The bottle they push/carry around and around the store seems to be less of a
burden in than outside.

That may also be true...climatic conditions can have a major effect.
That said, there are degrees of handicap and some may well use a limited
amount to the fullest extent possible--
