Immobility

Immobility refers to a condition where a person is unable to move freely or is confined to a specific position, often due to injury, illness, or disability. It can result from muscle weakness, nerve damage, or joint issues, and may be temporary or long-lasting. Immobility can lead to complications like bedsores, muscle atrophy, and blood clots if not managed properly. Addressing immobility typically involves physical therapy, assistive devices, or medical interventions to improve mobility and prevent secondary health problems.
