AB Eating  disorders  include  anorexia  nervosa,  bulimia,  and  binge  eating.1  A  combination  of  genetic,  psychological,  and  social  factors  results  in  these  disorders.  Diminished  nutrition,  body  weight,  and  muscle  mass  contribute  to  endurance  impairments.  Some  clients  develop  an  obsession  with  exercise  in  order  to  limit  body  weight,  which  in  the  long  term  is  not  beneficial  for  their  health.2  Clients  may  have  proximal  muscle  weakness,  which  can  result  in  gait  disturbances  and  limitations  in  performing  daily  activities.  Limitations  in  endurance  must  be  evaluated  within  the  overall  presentations  of  each  client's  condition.
