external factors affecting mobility
Physical Mobility Assessment
Ease of movement
Gait & posture
Alignment
Joint structure and strength
muscle mass, tone, and strength
endurance
Implementation for adults
Fitness counseling
clarify misconceptions
design and monitor safe exercise programs
people with mobility alterations may require special care
Implementation for older adults
teach and counsel about;
need for regular exercise
need for high protein, calcium, and Vit d enriched diet
pacing actvities
use assistive devices safely
safety proof home to reduce falls

Types of muscle contractions
isotonic
isometric
isokenetic
isotonic
active movement
isometric
contraction without movement
isokenetic
resistance against movement
Range of motion
moving joints through full movement
