The mobility assessment evaluates a client’s ability to move safely and effectively within their environment. This includes assessing transfers, ambulation, wheelchair use, posture and positioning, and the safe use of mobility aids (e.g., manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, walkers, scooters). The assessment considers physical, cognitive, and environmental factors that may impact safe mobility and functional independence.
Findings from the mobility assessment guide the development of individualized interventions, environmental modifications, equipment recommendations, and safety strategies to support independence, participation, and fall prevention.
