Walking: I assume all tests have included a MRI of her spine. In the elderly a common cause is spinal stenosis.

Depression?: Maybe she is just giving up. You know her better than i do. Maybe she just wants attention and wants to be close to those she loves and this is how she is getting the close attention.
