Reduced mobility can have many effects on an individual’s well being. A person who cannot get around as well as they used to through illness or injury will feel vulnerable. They may not
Unit 46 – Provide Support for Mobility 1.1 Define mobility Mobility is the ability to freely move physically. 1.2 Explain how different health conditions may affect and be affected by mobility A vast range of disabilities and conditions can result in mobility and physical difficulties, which may impact on access to learning. Some of the most common on-going or permanent conditions result from muscular and skeletal disabilities and from on-going medical conditions which affect mobility. Some disabilities may be more ‘seen’ or evident than others. Back and neck problems, accidents or injury leading to long term disability, arthritis and any other condition affecting the joints, amputation, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, partial or total paralysis, cerebral palsy and head injury.
Some examples of disabilities and conditions which can have an impact on mobility are: Back and neck problems, accidents or injury leading to long term disability, arthritis and any other condition affecting the joints, dementia, amputation, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, partial or total paralysis, cerebral palsy and head injury. Other conditions such as respiratory and cardiac diseases, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer and AIDS can all have an impact on co-ordination, dexterity, strength, speed and stamina. There are a vast range of health conditions which can be improved by mobility, here are a few. After an individual has suffered a stroke areas of their body will be weak and it is important that a physiotherapist devises a programme of exercise to strengthen the weak areas in order to regain the mobility. After joint surgery such as hip replacement exercise is key to making a full recovery and mobility of the joint.

• Muscular Dystrophy – the muscle fibres in the body weaken over time. • Cerebral Palsy – Caused by damage to parts of the brain which control movement during the nearly stages of development. People with CP may have difficulties with:-Posture, movement of body parts or the whole body, muscle weakness or tightness, involuntary muscle movements (spasms), balance & co-ordination, talking & eating Hidden or invisible disabilities are physical or mental impairments that are not readily apparent to others. Around 70% of people who have a disability in this country have a hidden disability. Types include:- • Asthma – more than 3 million people have asthma in the UK.
There are also many other types, but these are the most common. The life expectancy for many of these forms depends on the degree to which a person’s muscles are weakening. While there are many different kinds of Muscular Dystrophy, symptoms include trouble breathing, or swallowing. Their limbs may also become drawn inward and become fixed in that position. They also can affect the heart and organs.
