Mobility disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect a person’s ability to move and navigate their environment. These disorders can arise from various causes, including neurological conditions, musculoskeletal issues, injuries, or genetic factors. Examples of mobility disorders include cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and muscular dystrophy.
These conditions often result in challenges with balance, coordination, muscle control, and overall physical mobility. Treatment for mobility disorders may involve physical therapy, assistive devices (such as wheelchairs or walkers), medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Rehabilitation programs and adaptive strategies can help individuals optimize their independence and improve their quality of life despite mobility limitations.
