Get Moving- Tips for improving mobility care for the elderly.

Losing the ability to move around independently can be frustrating as activities such as shopping or clothing yourself can become laborious. Fortunately, there are a number of measures one can take to improve mobility.

• Remain active- regular exercise can help build body strength and promote mobility. Moderate exercise such as a brisk walk can ultimately lead to better mobility.
• Use mobility aids and disability equipment- A walker or a cane can greatly help in reducing the risk of falls and walking independently.
• Understand your limits- Although it is important to remain active and improve mobility, it is equally important to be aware of your boundaries and to stay safe. A fall can incapacitate a person for many months, wasting all the hard work that was put in.
