Not necessarily. A person may qualify for the permit due to a cardia or pulmonary condition that precludes him from walking 200+ feet, but still may have no difficulty walking 15 feet down an approach and throwing a bowling ball. Remember, governing authorities tend to make these rules to err on the side of including as many as possible, not to exclude anyone who might need it.
