Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Alzheimers cannot lead to this kind of symptom although presence of alzheimers as an independent diagnosis cannot be negated as she has significant forgetfullness. Her forgetfullness needs to be evaluated in detail. Regarding her inability to walk, there could be a problem in the brain which could be leading to such a problem of having inability to walk. She should go ahead with an MRI of the brain.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
