The Dangers of Immobility
Many conditions can affect a person’s ability to move. Regardless of the cause of immobility, the result is significant physical changes to a person’s body. These changes further limit a person’s ability to move, creating a vicious cycle. However, you can take steps to stop this cycle and improve the person’s health status and quality of life. This course discusses the common conditions that cause immobility, the effects immobility has on the body, and the steps you can take to minimize these effects.
