Ambulatory means able to walk or move around. For example, if a patient was seen in the Emergency Department after a car accident and the person was able to walk after immediatley after the crash, we might say, “The patient was ambulatory at the scene.”
You could also use this to describe friends that are hungover: “Dave is not very ambulatory this morning.”

Thank you so much for this. I am a premed student, 18 years old in my second year as an undergrad and this website has helped me so much!
