    That’s a bit like saying does using a walking stick make your leg muscles weaker, as you arm is doing the work. The answer is probably, to a very small degree, yes, but whatever keeps you mobile, safe and comfortable is far more important.. I see on another of your posts that you're doing your exercises, and that will really help keep up your muscle tone anyway.
