Mobility issues can really affect the quality of a person's life.  This can have a significant impact on doing daily tasks such as shopping, cooking and even going to the washroom.  As mobility issues worsen, it might even prevent an individual from getting out of a chair and walking across the room.

The effects of poor mobility run deeper as well.  People who can't go out often lack social interaction which often leads to depression and mental instability.  They often feel isolated and alone. And worse yet, there's a strong feeling of a loss of freedom because of the need to depend on others to run errands or help with daily tasks.

There are also a lot of health and safety issues involved as well.  For example, poor mobility can result in slips and falls, even in the home.  A common injury with falls is a hip fracture.  This results in even poorer mobility making the issue worse.

Poor mobility also results in weight gain due to a lack of exercise.  Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, respiratory problems and ultimately death.

"Loss of mobility is a real problem, but one that is often preventable or treatable."  (Godman, 2013)  For those with mobility issues, this is very good news.  There are factors that are in our control such as obesity and lack of physical exercise.
