which made me wonder if the runner had to attempt to continue on in order to be awarded the base.

All that statement was meant to say was that a baserunner can still be out after an OBS between the bases where she was OBS'd if she runs the bases illegally. Specific exceptions are noted in the book (like passing another runner, etc). The debate where you read that comment was about whether LBR could/should be a reason an OBS'd runner could be called out between the bases where she was OBS'd. I don't think we resolved it.
Andy - I think if she truly could not walk due to an injury caused by an OBS, most umpires would allow someone else to run the award for her, similar to a homerun over the fence.
