Wild-type ATTR amyloidosis (ATTRwt amyloidosis) primarily affects the heart and can lead to conditions like congestive heart failure. While the context provided does not specifically mention muscle strength and flexibility in the legs, it does highlight symptoms such as:

- Edema (swelling) in feet, ankles, and legs
- Shortness of breath
- Extreme tiredness or fatigue

These symptoms can indirectly affect muscle strength and flexibility due to reduced mobility and overall physical condition. If you experience these symptoms, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider.
