Here is a quick run down of what a K level are : K0 = Someone who does not walk. K1 = A person who walks inside on flat surfaces and probably uses an assistive device like a cane or walker. K2 = Someone who walks a little more and can potential do curbs or some stairs independently. K3 = A person who exhibits the ability or potential to walk with “variable cadence”. This means walking fast of slow. This person goes for longer distance walks too, like 1/3 of a mile. K4 = An athlete. That is a quick synopsis of the K level system.
