Participial clause
I feel very old, strolling around the hospital wing in a wheel chair.
Are the words in italics a gerund clause (with the preposition 'by' omitted)?
Or is it a participial phrase answering why?
Thank you

Neither: it is a nonfinite clause acting as a sentence adverb:
Strolling around...wheel chair, I feel very old.
Strolling around...wheel chair, I feel very old.
