mobility independence

Mobility independence refers to an individual's ability to move freely and safely within their environment without assistance. It involves activities like walking, transferring from a chair to a bed, using mobility aids (such as canes or wheelchairs), and navigating different spaces. Achieving mobility independence enhances a person’s overall autonomy, allowing them to perform daily tasks, participate in social activities, and maintain a sense of control over their life. It often depends on physical strength, balance, coordination, and appropriate support or devices when needed. Improving mobility independence is a common goal in healthcare and rehabilitation to promote quality of life.
