Age-Related Mobility Problems

Age-related mobility problems refer to the decline in movement ability that many people experience as they get older. These issues can be caused by factors such as joint stiffness, muscle weakness, balance problems, or chronic conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis. Consequently, older adults may find it harder to walk, climb stairs, or perform daily activities comfortably and safely. These changes are natural but can impact independence and quality of life. Managing mobility issues often involves physical activity, medical treatment, or assistive devices to help maintain movement and reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
