INDOOR WALKING ROUTE — ORIGINAL RECORD AND EXPLAINED CASES

INDOOR WALKING ROUTE — SETUP AND COMFORT RECORD
Date / available household window:
Room / selected path / current floor conditions:
Start point / reachable finish:
Door use / required access / people or pets:
Turning area checked / unresolved question:
Usual aid or individual instructions relevant to setup:
Route changed, not used, or briefly tried:
What interrupted the path, if anything:
Was stopping and reaching the finish workable?
Comfort or symptom concern, in your own words:
Observed setup fact / interpretation still uncertain:
Next practical change or qualified question:
No score, pace target, diagnosis or permission to restart.

Original diagrams are non-scale concepts, not measured routes or clearance standards.

CASE 1
A route is drawn around a coffee table, but two corners require squeezing past it. Is the closed loop enough?
No. The actual corners and stop/exit arrangement matter. Choose a workable path or another activity; a line on a drawing does not establish usable clearance.

CASE 2
A corridor is clear in the middle, but its end feels too cramped to change direction. Should walking backwards become the return?
No. A straight middle does not settle the end and return. Choose a different arrangement or appropriate individual advice; do not improvise a return manoeuvre from this diagram.

CASE 3
A charging cable crosses the path. Can adding brighter light make the route ready?
No. Visibility does not remove the obstacle. Resolve the actual trip hazard appropriately or choose another path; do not step over it to preserve the plan.

CASE 4
The walk window is agreed, but another household member now needs the doorway. Must the timer be finished?
No. Pause and keep required access usable. A time window is an available opportunity, not priority over household passage or permission to squeeze past.

CASE 5
An app records few steps during a brief route check. Does that show the setup failed or a longer walk is required?
No. Step credit does not decide whether the path, stopping place and return are workable. There is no required step debt, distance equivalence or intensity target here.

CASE 6
Someone feels faint during the walk. Should the record automatically recommend a shorter attempt immediately?
No. Stop and obtain appropriate help for the concern. A room record cannot diagnose the cause or grant permission to restart with a lower target.
