Mobility loss refers to the partial or total inability to move or walk freely due to physical conditions that affect the muscles, bones, or nervous system. Individuals with mobility loss may experience difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing everyday activities. It can range from mild limitations to complete immobility and often requires adjustments in daily life to maintain independence and quality of life.
