Even though the patient is unable to get up and walk (gait) and stand (station), I think you could argue "Non-ambulatory sitting in wheel chair" as the reason why that exam element could not be fully assessed. Check with your insurance carrier, as they might have special rules about when a provider cannot assess an exam element.
