Tribe meets white people for the first time

But does it show they were able to regain pre-injury range of motion and weight loads?

Good question but probably a less important one than nowadays since you had your whole village to help pick up your slack & there was less of an individualist/bootstraps type attitude. I mean it would suck to only be able to carry 20 lbs instead of 40 on hikes & travels but would suck way less if everyone else didn't try to make you feel ashamed about it.
