Several factors contribute to patient mobility issues:
Age-Related Changes: Muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and balance problems often occur with aging. Neurological Disorders: Conditions like Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke can impair motor function. Musculoskeletal Problems: Arthritis, fractures, and injuries can limit mobility. Surgical Recovery: Post-operative pain and restrictions can temporarily reduce mobility. Chronic Illnesses: Diseases such as diabetes and heart failure can lead to decreased physical activity and mobility issues.
