  Category 2: Moderate Lower Body Profile Restrictions
  12-33. Soldiers entering Category 2 for lower body injuries must meet Category 2 entry criteria (see
  table 12-2). Lower body injuries in Category 2 include moderate low back pain or mild to moderate foot,
  ankle, knee, or hip pain. See table 12-3 for moderate lower body reconditioning. If the injury does not
  interfere with use of the uninjured limb, that limb should be trained as close to standard as possible. The
  Soldier can tolerate some impact and so is able to—
  * Use ETMs such as an elliptical machine or stair master.
  * Walk or run in a pool.
  * Use STM circuits.
  * Perform modified Preparation Drill.
  * Perform modified Conditioning Drill 1, Running Drills, and Suspension Drills.
  * Perform modified Strength Training Circuit and light Free Weight Training.
  * Walk or run in the shallow end or aqua-jog in the deep end of the pool.
  * Perform modified Recovery Drill and PMCS.
